Lyon’s Croatian central defender, Dejan Lovren, is once again forfeited for the OL-Le Havre match on Sunday (8:45 p.m.) at the Groupama stadium counting for the 5th day of Ligue 1 football, the Rhone club announced on Friday.
The player suffered a blow to the pelvis during training on Thursday.
Lovren, 34, recruited in January in the winter transfer window, injured his thigh during the first match of summer preparation against the Dutch 3rd division club De Treffers.
He has not played again since, except in a friendly behind closed doors against Auxerre (L2, 3-2) on September 8, thus missing the first four days of the championship.
