LIGUE 1 – LYON: YANGA-MBIWA IN THE GROUP THAT FACES RENNES
Recently signed from AS Roma, Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa is set to make his debut for Olympique Lyonnais as he has been included in Hubert Fournier’s squad to face Rennes in the third matchday of Ligue 1.
The Franco-Central African defender joins the group while Bakary Koné, Lindsay Rose, and Yassine Benzia have been left out — an expected decision as all three are reportedly on the verge of leaving the club.
Lyon squad to face Rennes:
Goalkeepers:
Lopes, Gorgelin
Defenders:
Bedimo, Umtiti, Yanga-Mbiwa, Rafael, Morel
Midfielders:
Tolisso, Ferri, Mvuemba, Gonalons, Ghezzal, Malbranque, Valbuena, Fekir
Forwards:
Cornet, Beauvue, Lacazette
Yanga-Mbiwa’s inclusion boosts Lyon’s defensive options as the team looks to rebound after a mixed start to the season.
