Mamadou Sarr, who came through the ranks at Olympique Lyonnais, is set to start against his former club tonight. He is expected to start at the heart of the Real Sociedad defence in the UEFA Europa League.
Lyon head to Spain without a permanent manager, with Jorge Maciel in charge on an interim basis following the departure of Paulo Fonseca.
It is expected that there will be a couple of familiar names in the Real Sociedad line-up. In addition to Sarr, currently on loan at the La Liga side from Chelsea, former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Carlos Soler is expected to start, as is another former Parisien in the form of Goncalo Guedes. Pellegrino Matarazzo is without Joseba Beitia, Alvaro Ordriozola, and Arsen Zakharyan for the visit from Les Gones.
