Lasso Coulibaly
AUX
Among the substitutes
Coulibaly is among the substitutes in Saturday's league opener against Lens.
Analysis: Coulibaly missed the final friendly against Bremen while nearing a return from a physical issue but is back in the squad for the season opener. He has primarily served as a midfield depth option since joining Auxerre permanently in 2024 and is likely to fill a similar role this season.
Included in squad
Coulibaly (undisclosed) is in the squad for Saturday's match against Lens.
Analysis: Coulibaly is back in the squad after missing the friendly against Werder Bremen earlier this month, and he should add depth to the attacking line in his return. He's not likely to make a big impact in fantasy, however, after a 2025/26 season in which he didn't record goals or assists in 17 appearances (one start) in league play.
Misses Bremen test, eyes Lens
Coulibaly (undisclosed) is left out of Auxerre's squad for the final preseason match against Bremen but is targeting a return for the league opener against Lens, the club announced.
Analysis: Coulibaly had been nearing a comeback from a physical issue, with his return previously expected around the end of the week, and his continued absence here suggests the timeline has slipped slightly. He has served as a squad option in midfield for Auxerre since joining permanently in 2024 following a loan spell at Randers, where he scored four goals in 32 appearances. Coulibaly is expected to be reassessed as the club approaches its season opener.
Close to return
Coulibaly (undisclosed) is also nearing a return from a physical issue, with his comeback expected around the end of the week, according to manager Will Still, per L'Yonne Republicaine.
Analysis: Coulibaly has served as a squad option in midfield for Auxerre since joining permanently in 2024 following a loan spell at Randers, where he scored four goals in 32 appearances. His anticipated return gives Auxerre another option to manage as the club builds toward its next fixtures.
Available to face Lyon
Coulibaly (knee) is an option for Saturday's clash against Lyon, the club posted.
Analysis: Coulibaly passed his late fitness assessment after coach Christophe Pelissier confirmed a decision would be made following further evaluation, recovering in time to earn a spot in the squad list. The midfielder has primarily operated as a bench option for Auxerre this season, and will resume that role for the final stretch of the season.
Late call for Saturday clash
Coulibaly (knee) is a late call for Saturday's clash against Lyon, with a decision to be made following further assessment, according to coach Christophe Pelissier. "We will also see tomorrow for Coulibaly."
Analysis: Coulibaly has primarily operated as a bench option for Auxerre this season, limiting the immediate impact of his potential absence on the starting lineup. His availability will be determined ahead of Saturday's fixture, though his status for upcoming matches remains uncertain.
