Endrick scored the first hat-trick of his young career, against FC Metz over the weekend, however, the Brazilian is ineligible for Olympique Lyonnais’ UEFA Europa League encounter with PAOK.
With Martín Satriano having left the club on loan earlier this month, Paulo Fonseca’s options up front are extremely limited and so it is academy product Rémi Himbert who will lead the line, as Fonseca confirmed during his pre-match press conference on Wednesday.
Endrick is one of manty absences that Lyon must contend with, as they look to finish top of the Europa League standings, a position that they currently hold, ahead of Aston Villa only on goal difference. Nicolas Tagliafico, Orel Mangala, Pavel Sulc, Corentin Tolisso, Malick Fofana, and Ernest Nuamah all miss out due to injury.
Lyon likely line-up v PAOK
Rémy Descamps; Abner, Moussa Niakhaté, Ruben Kluivert, Ainsley Maitland-Niles; Tyler Morton, Tanner Tessmann; Afonso Moreira, Khalis Merah, Adam Karabec; Rémi Himbert. (L’Éq)
