Scores off the bench

Merah scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Friday's 2-1 defeat versus Lens.

Analysis: Merah scored late to give Lyon a chance to potentially salvage a draw, though the side couldn't get another goal. The midfielder could be brought on to provide a spark should Lyon need a goal against Crystal Palace on Thursday in UEL action.

Back available against Le Havre

Merah (ankle) is back available for Saturday's clash against Le Havre after being included in Lyon's matchday squad.

Analysis: Merah is available for the first time this season after recovering from the ankle injury that kept him out for most of preseason and Lyon's opening matches. The midfielder completed a full week of training before earning his return to the squad, though his lack of match fitness means he is expected to start on the bench against Le Havre.
