Announced in the middle of the week as possible absent for the derby on Sunday, Denis Bouanga should finally be there.
The derby between OL and ASSE will undoubtedly be the shock of this championship weekend. Lyon welcomes a Stéphane team in full doubt and which remains on a series of five consecutive defeats. For this shock, Claude Puel could count on the return of Denis Bouanga. Indeed, Mohamed Toubache-Ter, the insider, of AS Saint-Etienne has revealed that the Gabon international wants to be present for this match, even if he is a little injured or weakened. Suffering for a few days, the attacking midfielder does not want to miss the derby for the world and absolutely intends to play the meeting despite his current ills.
The technical staff of ASSE would be reassured by his situation following the good work of the medical staff. However, nothing tells us yet if the soon to be 26-year-old will be able to hold his place from kick-off on Sunday or if he will be used as a sort of “wildcard” in the second half. Anyway, Denis Bouanga should probably be in the Stéphanois group for this trip to Lyon. End of questions tomorrow night with the announcement of the group.
