A wink of fate for Bardley Barcola. It is therefore in Lyon, facing his training club, that the 21-year-old neo-Parisian will make his debut in his new colors. He is in Luis Enrique’s group of 20 players for the clash against OL on Sunday (8:45 p.m.), at the end of the fourth day of Ligue 1. No surprise, Luis Enrique had said so earlier in a press conference . “Yes, he will be in the group. He’s a very important player for his youth and his qualities, he can dribble down the hall, he’s very good off the ball and can play as number 9. He’s a player we really like, a good reinforcement, a player French, a player of the future who has a lot of desire”, rejoiced the 53-year-old Spanish technician, in Poissy.
Note the return of Gonçalo Ramos, package against Lens (3-1), but not yet of Nordi Mukiele, even if he did not appear in the medical point of the capital club. Point which concerned Presnel Kimpembe, Lee Kang-In and Nuno Mendes, but also the newcomer Randal Kolo Muani, who “is recovering from a sprained right ankle and will remain in care for the next few days”. The former Nantes player, whose signature was confirmed late Friday evening, is forfeited for OL-PSG. For the rest, we will highlight the presence of Keylor Navas and Layvin Kurzawa, two players who could have left in the transfer window. Hugo Ekitike and Marco Verratti are not selected for this match. The first has greatly irritated the club in recent days, failing to derail the deal for Kolo Muani, while the second, not in the coach’s plans, should soon go to Qatar.
