Nets on Saturday
Fofana scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and four crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Toulouse.
Analysis: Fofana doubled the lead in the 85th minute assisted by Corentin Tolisso. Fofana recorded two dribbles, registered the most crosses in his team and also made a tackle. Fofana featured in 12 games last campaign and netted twice and he has already had a good start to the campaign.
Available for Rennes clash
Fofana (ankle) is back available for Sunday's clash against Rennes, according to coach Paulo Fonseca, per Le Progres OL. "We're getting Malick and Ernest back, who are in the squad for Rennes, and who can help us if we need them. Our two flanks have more options now, that's good."
Analysis: Fofana's inclusion in the squad brings an end to one of the most frustrating injury sagas of Lyon's season, with the Belgian winger having been through ankle surgery and a subsequent hardware removal procedure before finally getting back to full team training this week. Coach Fonseca's careful wording suggests a bench role rather than an immediate return to the starting lineup, but having him available at all for such an important fixture in Lyon's Champions League qualification push is a genuine boost for the Gones heading into the final stretch of the campaign.
