Lyon’s Saïd Benrahma is set to make his comeback in the upcoming fixture against Stade de Reims after missing out on the previous matchday due to injury. The 28-year-old forward has recovered from a minor thigh injury sustained during the 25th day clash against Lorient on March 9.
Having sat out the 26th day fixture against Toulouse on March 15 to aid his recovery, Benrahma is now poised to rejoin Pierre Sage’s squad for the crucial encounter against Stade de Reims.
His return adds a significant boost to Lyon’s attacking options as they aim to secure a vital victory at the Groupama Stadium.
This weekend’s match against Reims presents an opportunity for Benrahma to make his sixth appearance in Ligue 1 this season, provided he features in the lineup selected by the coaching staff.
With his return, Lyon fans will be hopeful of witnessing the Algerian international’s skill and impact on the pitch.
During the international break, Benrahma utilized the opportunity to regain match fitness, featuring for 23 minutes in the friendly encounter against South Africa.
This valuable playing time has helped him prepare physically for the upcoming challenge against Reims on Saturday, March 30.
As Lyon seeks to maintain their momentum in the race for a top-four finish in Ligue 1, Benrahma’s return comes at a crucial juncture for the club.
His presence is expected to bolster the team’s attacking prowess and provide an additional dimension to their gameplay as they strive for success in the remainder of the season.
