Back in squad

Kluivert (not injury related) is in the squad for Wednesday's match against Fenerbahce.

Analysis: Kluivert is back in the squad ahead of Wednesday's match against Fenerbahce in a game that will decide whether Lyon play in the Champions League or the Europa League in 2026/27. The Dutchman should get the nod at center-back and is likely to be paired with Moussa Niakhate (ankle) if the latter is also deemed fit.

Left out for Toulouse trip

Kluivert was left out of the matchday squad for Lyon's Ligue 1 opener at Toulouse due to rest.

Analysis: Kluivert started the first leg against Fenerbahce just days ago and has been left out entirely as Paulo Fonseca manages the short turnaround before Wednesday's decisive second leg. Clinton Mata and Felix Bacher look like the likely center back pairing in his absence, with Moussa Niakhate also sidelined.
