Lyon: More Scare Than Injury for Njie

Djabour 1

Clinton Njié Set to Return for Lyon’s Crucial Clash Against Caen

Olympique Lyonnais have received a timely boost in their Ligue 1 title chase as Clinton Njié has been declared fit for this weekend’s Matchday 36 trip to Caen.

The 21-year-old Cameroonian forward, recently voted Lyon’s Player of the Month for April, limped off during Lyon’s 2-0 win over Evian TG last weekend, sparking fears of a potential hamstring injury. Substituted in the 55th minute, initial concerns centered around a possible extended absence at a pivotal point in the season.

However, the club confirmed on Monday that an ultrasound scan revealed only a minor muscular contracture—ruling out any serious damage. Medical staff are optimistic about Njié’s recovery, and the striker is now expected to rejoin Hubert Fournier’s squad for their vital trip to Stade Michel d’Ornano.

Njié has been in excellent form, contributing significantly to Lyon’s strong campaign with a flurry of goals and assists in recent weeks. His return comes as Lyon continue their pursuit of league leaders Paris Saint-Germain, with only three games left in the season.

With the title race still mathematically open, Lyon will be counting on Njié’s speed and attacking flair to make the difference against a Caen side battling to secure their top-flight status.
