Could return against Vigo
Moreira (hamstring) could be available for next week's second leg against Celta Vigo in the Europa League, according to coach Paulo Fonseca, per Olympique et Lyonnais. "I expect that we can count on Afonso (Moreira) and Pavel (Sulc). Maybe it's not to start the match. But having players like Afonso and Pavel as a solution, with also Malick (Fofana). We'll see. Maybe it will be important for us to have wingers to have more initiatives, more deep calls."
ANALYSIS
Moreira is closing in on a return after shaking off a hamstring injury and could be available off the bench for Thursday's Europa League second leg against Celta Vigo. The left winger is not expected to be fit enough to start but could still provide a spark as a substitute. That said, with Malick Fofana (ankle) also nearing a comeback, Moreira may find his minutes harder to come by moving forward.

Still out
Moreira (hamstring) is out for Sunday's match against Paris FC, according to manager Paulo Fonseca. "It's just an injury. He had a hamstring problem. He had recovered. It was the first time he'd had this injury. He's a player who wants to play every match. He had seen positive signs and thought he was ready, but after his first training session, he felt the same problem. I feel a bit guilty because I pressured the doctor to give me the opportunity to use him, but he wasn't ready."
