He played 61 minutes on the night from Thursday to Friday in Manaus, during the Brazilian victory against Uruguay (4-1). But just two days later, despite a trip of 8,300 kilometers or two borrowed planes and six hours of time difference, Lucas Paqueta is in the Lyon group to face Monaco this Saturday night (9:00 p.m.). It seems unlikely, but Peter Bosz has called up his Brazilian for this championship clash, where OL must start again after two straight draws in L1. It remains to be seen if he will be on the minutes and if he will play.
While Peter Bosz has yet to rule out two players from his squad of 22, the presence of Lucas Paqueta seems unlikely. And its very risky participation.

Injured, Moussa Dembélé and Islam Slimani are not available for this poster. And Tino Kadewere is not yet 100% to be thrown from kickoff. The solutions to occupy the position of center forward, therefore, are not legion. If Rayan Cherki is inclined to start at the top, Lucas Paqueta could still serve well in this position, where he showed all his versatility against Saint-Etienne (1-1). Even if it was only for a few minutes depending on the setting, it would be a huge advantage for Les Gones. But will Peter Bosz take such a risk with such a valuable player? Answer tonight.
