Sage is likely to be without Ernest Nuamah, who was taken off just 17 minutes into their defeat to Monaco due to an injury, for this game, while Nicolas Tagliafico is also ruled out with a calf injury.

Still in search of their first goal and points of the 2024-25 season, Sage will be looking to summer signing Georges Mikautadze, who netted an impressive 13 goals in 20 Ligue 1 appearances last year, and Alexandre Lacazette, who scored 22 times across all competitions in 2023-24, to provide the firepower for his side.

Nemanja Matic could also return to the starting lineup in an effort to bolster the team's defensive stability, partnering with Maxence Caqueret in the midfield.

For the visitors, Milos Lukovic, Dion Sahi and Thomas Delaine are all set to continue their stay on the sidelines, with them all expected to return in September.

Following their 3-1 victory against Rennes last time out, Rosenior could opt to name a similar starting 11 against Lyon on Friday evening.

Lyon possible starting lineup:

Perri; Mata, Caleta-Car, Niakhate, Maitland-Niles; Matic, Caqueret; Benrahma, Fofana; Mikautadze, Lacazette

Strasbourg possible starting lineup:

Johnsson; Doue, Sow, Sylla; Bakwa, Santos, Doukoure, Wiley; Diarra; Moreira, Emegha
