Olympique Lyonnais have announced their squad for their trip to Spain, ahead of their friendly against Arsenal next week.
Arsenal are set to meet Olympique Lyonnais for a friendly during their World Cup schedule, with the two teams travelling to Dubai next week.
Before that, Lyon are set for a training camp in Spain, and they named their squad for that trip on Sunday. You’d expect many of the players in the 25 to be the same players involved in the squad to face Arsenal next week on Thursday.
Among the list of 25 are former Gunners Alexandre Lacazette and Jeff Reine-Adelaide, both of whom have been regulars in the Lyon squad this season.
Lacazette has nine goals in his 15 games for Lyon this campaign, all 15 of which were starts. Meanwhile, Reine-Adelaide has made 11 appearances, but 10 of those were from the bench.
Other notable inclusions in the Lyon squad are Houssem Aouar and Corentin Tolisso, both regularly linked with a move to Arsenal in the past.
