Olympique Lyonnais will have to do without two French internationals, Elodie Thomis and Claire Lavogez, both injured.

However, the two cases are distinct. Elodie Thomis was injured in the hand against Brazil with the French selection but had still played against Paris Saint-Germain last weekend with the Lyon team.

Elodie Thomis was operated, Monday morning, the 3rd metacarp. The Lyon striker will therefore be absent for several weeks and will miss the derby and the entry into the running of the Rhone club in the Champions League.

Claire Lavogez returned from injury and was in the Lyon group against the Parisiennes. Unfortunately she was injured again with a new left calf tear that will deprive her of land for several weeks.

These are two hard shots for Olympique Lyonnais especially for the entry in the running of the Champions League where Lyonnaises will face the Polish club Medyk Konin October 8 in Poland.
