Lucas Michal
MTZ
Returns to Monaco
Michal will leave Metz when his loan expires, the club announced.
Analysis: Michal made nine appearances for Metz during his loan spell, totaling 207 minutes without a goal or assist. Metz thanked Michal for his professionalism and commitment during his time at the club as he heads back to Monaco ahead of the 2026/27 season.
Unavailable Sunday
Michal (undisclosed) won't be an option for Sunday's game against Nice, according to Angelo Salemi of RL Sports.
Analysis: Michal has missed the last two games for Metz, and he won't be an option for the final game of the season, either. This shouldn't have a big impact in most fantasy formats, however, as Michal's last start came in February, and he hasn't scored a single goal in 2025/26.
Loan restriction lifted
Michal is no longer loan-locked and is available for selection moving forward.
Analysis: Michal had been unable to feature against Monaco due to a clause in his loan agreement preventing him from playing against his parent club, but that restriction no longer applies for the remaining fixtures. The forward figures to slot back into his usual rotation role as Metz push through the final fixtures of the season.
Unavailable against parent club
Michal won't be an option for the next Ligue 1 match against Monaco due to being loan-locked by his parent club, according to coach Benoit Tavenot.
Analysis: Michal is ineligible to face his parent club in the upcoming Ligue 1 matchup due to a clause in his loan deal, but he will return for the May 10 clash against Lorient. The forward has been a rotation option this season, so his absence is unlikely to significantly impact the team.
