After a 4-0 defeat against PSG in their last match, Olympique Lyonnais (OL) is looking to bounce back as they face Toulouse in the 16th round of Ligue 1. Currently in tenth place with 19 points, Lyon has an opportunity to climb the standings, being only five points behind fifth place.
For the upcoming match against Toulouse, manager Remi Garde will have Bafétimbi Gomis back in the squad. Gomis, who missed the last game due to a painful back, is set to return and contribute to Lyon’s attack. However, Mouhamadou Dabo remains unavailable due to a knee problem, while Jimmy Briand, who suffered a hamstring injury against Seville, is ruled out for the rest of 2013 with a planned return in January 2014. On a positive note, Rachid Ghezzal, who had been sidelined for several months due to a herniated disc, has resumed training.
