Tyler Morton is out of Olympique Lyonnais’ game against SCO Angers on Sunday afternoon. The Englishman is managing a pubalgia issue and so won’t be in the matchday squad.

His absence is a big miss for Paulo Fonseca, who, in the build-up to this game, is being heavily linked with an exit from the club. L’Équipe understands that talks over a move to Sporting CP are advanced.

Lois Openda, Pavel Sulc, and Mohamed Ouédraogo are all also out for Lyon. Steeve Kango also misses out as part of the concussion protocol. In the absence of Openda, it is Ernest Nuamah who is expected to start as the centre-forward on this occasion. Julien Duranville is expected to play off the right and Keito Nakamura off the left.
