Kumbedi (muscular) trained all week and is back available for Saturday's clash against Union Berlin, according to coach Dieter Hecking. "Kumbedi had muscular issues, but he is now training fully again and will be back."
ANALYSIS
Kumbedi is back available for Saturday's clash against Union Berlin after training fully with the group this week following a muscular injury that kept him out last match. The defender had been starting prior to the setback and could work his way back into that role, with Aaron Zehnter competing for minutes at left back.

Crystal Palace are analyzing the possibility of signing Kumbedi, according to TBR Football.
ANALYSIS
Kumbedi has quickly established himself as one of the best young defenders in the Ligue 1, and he seems likely to leave the club sooner rather than later. Plus, Lyon are in a tough spot from a financial perspective, and parting ways with Kumbedi could be a way to solve the problems that are affecting the club.
