Lyon vs. Lens: Liverpool's Morton Set for Debut! Don't Miss It!
Olympique Lyonnais is gearing up to face RC Lens this Saturday, and all eyes are on Tyler Morton, the former Liverpool midfielder, who is poised to make his debut for the French club. After his summer move, Morton has a clear path to becoming a regular starter for Lyon.
Nemanja Matić's departure, with his contract terminated by mutual consent a year early, has significantly reduced competition for Morton in the midfield. The young Englishman is anticipated to partner with American talent Tanner Tessmann in the starting lineup.
Corentin Tolisso, who was sidelined during Lyon's final pre-season match due to a minor calf injury, is expected to make a comeback and take on a slightly more advanced role. Abner is likely to fill in at left-back while Nicolás Tagliafico regains his full fitness. In goal, Rémy Descamps will start, with Dominik Greif expected to finalize a permanent move from Mallorca next week and become the new No. 1.
Predicted Lyon Starting XI vs. Lens:
- Goalkeeper: Rémy Descamps
- Defense: Abner, Moussa Niakhaté, Clinton Mata, Saël Kumbedi
- Midfield: Tyler Morton, Tanner Tessmann
- Attack: Malick Fofana, Corentin Tolisso, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Georges Mikautadze
This match promises excitement as Lyon integrates new players and aims for a strong start. Stay tuned for live updates and analysis!
