Lyon will be vying to maintain their lead at the Division 1 Feminine summit on Saturday when they face Dijon.
The defending French and European champions have not had an easy time of it this season after seeing their campaign disrupted by injuries. However, they still top the table ahead of rivals Paris Saint-Germain after eight wins from nine so far.
Lyon face a Dijon side who have won just once since the first weekend of September, and have conceded 10 goals in their last two matches alone.
When is kick off? Saturday 3 December, 13:30 (GMT)
Where is the match being played? Stade Gérard Houllier 1
TV channel/live stream? Fanatiz International, ATA Football
Lyon’s lengthy injury list remains; they are still without long term absentees Ada Hegerberg, Griedge Mbock, Sara Dabritz and Ellie Carpenter. Amandine Henry also continues to miss out after sustaining a muscle problem in November.
Lyon have been boosted by the return of Damaris Egurrola, who has been included in the matchday squad for the first time since being stretchered off with injury against Juventus in the Champions League in October.
The usually all-conquering Lyon haven’t had things easy in recent weeks as they continue to contend with a mountain of injury problems. The French champions needed two goals in the final 20 minutes to get the better of Paris FC last time out, and their league campaign has thus far been characterised by a series of narrow victories.
However, they face a Dijon side who sit ninth, having won just twice all season and have suffered a pair of heavy defeats in their last two outings, With the injury situation now gradually easing, Saturday should therefore be a much simpler challenge for Lyon.
