Christiane Endler during Arsenal – OL (AFP)
As they prepare to face Arsenal in the Champions League, the OL Lyonnes players had to review their program because of… the Gunners men’s team.
Mikel Arteta and his men may not know it, but they will have an impact on the preparation of Jonatan’s players Giraldez for the semi-final first leg of the Champions League against Arsenal (Sunday April 26 at 4:30 p.m.). As is customary in the European Cup, on the eve of an away match, if the last training session is no longer obligatory in the opponent’s enclosure, the press conference must be held there. But OL Lyonnes will only be able to take to the pitch at the Emirates Stadium during the warm-up before the match. Indeed, Arsenal will play a Premier League match against Newcastle on Saturday April 25 at 6:30 p.m., which pushes the Lyonnaises to reorganize their trip.
No organizational worries on return
The match watch session will be scheduled at GOLTC on Saturday morning. The traditional pre-match press conference will also take place in Décines and the Lyon delegation will return to London at the end of the afternoon. The return match of this semi-final will take place at Parc OL, on Saturday May 2, at 3 p.m. The Londoners will not have this problem since OL will play on Sunday against Rennes.
