Remains sidelined
Sulc (knee) remains out for Tuesday's second leg against Sparta Prague while dealing with knee inflammation, according to coach Paulo Fonseca, per Olympique et Lyonnais. "The absent players? We'll have them back soon. Mads Bidstrup and Sulc will return to the team soon"
Analysis: Sulc's fitness situation continues to run parallel to genuine transfer interest from clubs around Europe, with manager Paulo Fonseca previously acknowledging his market value and the possibility he could depart. He had already missed the friendly against Wolfsburg with a knee bruise, and this update confirms the issue has lingered since. Sulc is expected to be monitored closely both for his role in Lyon's plans and how his situation develops on the transfer market.
Dealing with knee inflammation

"Pavel is injured, knee inflammation, and he has the possibility of also going to another club, his value in Europe is significant, and many clubs are interested in him, it's normal."
Analysis: Sulc had already been ruled out of a recent friendly against Wolfsburg with a knee bruise, and this update confirms the issue is still lingering, with his fitness now intertwined with genuine transfer speculation. His path back to full team training will be worth monitoring closely, both for his role in Lyon's plans and for how his situation develops on the market.
