Defeat and more. After another setback in a warm-up match last Saturday against London team Crystal Palace (2-0), OL also had to deal with the injury of their incumbent goalkeeper Anthony Lopes. Hit in the head during a shock with an opponent, the 32-year-old doorman is forced to forfeit the first day of Ligue 1 on Sunday evening (8:45 p.m.) on the lawn of Strasbourg, the club announced in a press release. The duration of his unavailability is not yet known.
In his absence, Remy Riou (36), Lyon’s No. 2 goalkeeper, should start, he who took part in 7 Ligue 1 games last season.
