Moussa Niakhate Injury: Available to face Rennes

Niakhate (knee) is available to face Rennes on Sunday, coach Paulo Fonseca said in the press conference, according to Gones Area. "All the players are ready, it's true that Moussa arrived with a small issue, but he trained, everything is fine. All the others are doing well too."

Niakhate suffered a knee injury while on international duty with Senegal but that injury appeared to be minor since he was back in team training with Lyon and is available for Sunday's clash against Rennes. The center-back is expected to return directly to the starting squad on Sunday.
