Five Players Missing for the Match Against Auxerre

This weekend, Ligue 1 returns with excitement. After a frustrating defeat to PSG before the break, OL is eager to start anew against AJ Auxerre. However, head coach Paulo Fonseca will face challenges with his lineup, as he shared in a press conference on Friday.

“We are currently dealing with several issues. Ruben Kluivert is injured, Rachid Ghezzal has a hamstring injury. Nicolas Tagliafico, Hans Hateboer, and Tyler Morton are suspended. Ainsley Maitland-Niles has been unwell for two days, and we will assess his condition tomorrow. Additionally, we still have Malick Fofana and Ernest Nuamah in the treatment room. Orel Mangala has returned to training with us this week, and next week he will resume regular training. Pavel Šulc may be able to play a few minutes, but not the entire match. We have limited options, but my message to the team remains the same: regardless of the starting 11, we must approach each match with the same ambitions,” noted Fonseca. Thus, the team heads to Burgundy with a depleted roster.
