With World Cup qualifiers about to take place, there isn’t too much happening at club level. But there are a few articles and updates that caught my eye.
The biggest news is the medical update on Bafetimbi Gomis. Two days ago at Guingamp, Gomis collapsed during practice with the France squad. He was out for a [...]

It looks like the threats of Jean-Michel Aulas to quit if the city continued to deadlock Lyon’s plans for a new stadium have finally forced the city leaders into committing to Project OL Land, now scheduled to be completed on June 2013.
The agreement was signed by six parties: Olympique Lyonnais, the State, the department of [...]

It’s international week, so things are rather quiet on the Lyon front. Here’s what’s been going on:

Fabio Grosso is back in training and is expected to play against Lille on October 18th. This is good news because if he does well, he play against Steaua a few days later. Kader Keita is also training normally, [...]

Fabio Grosso’s week isn’t getting any better. Last weekend, he was verbally abused by Strasbourg coach Jean-Marc Furlan for being a “piece of macaroni shit.” Today, during Lyon’s 2-2 draw against Caen, Grosso was sent off, the third Lyon player to be red carded this year. Apparently, Grosso – who had already received a yellow [...]

Hey, just because it’s January doesn’t mean that the only thing Lyon care about is the mercato! At least Aulas hasn’t forgotten. Project OL Land is going full speed ahead. Today, he presented more stadium information at a press conference, and even more interesting, the results of weeks of polling in the Decines area, where [...]
