Back available Sunday
Mangala (thigh) has completed another full week of training with the team and is an option for Sunday's season finale against Lens as he wasn't listed in the injury report by coach Paulo Fonseca.
Analysis: Mangala had been left out of the Toulouse fixture despite returning to collective sessions earlier last week, but his progression through another complete training week is the clearest sign yet that he is ready to return for the final fixture of the season. The Belgian midfielder had been in strong form before the thigh lesion emerged and Lyon will be hoping to see him fully fit for one last push as they look to seal their Champions League qualification ambitions on the final day.
Out against Toulouse
Mangala (thigh) was not included in the squad for Sunday's clash against Toulouse, according to the club.
Analysis: Mangala's absence is a setback after he had returned to team training earlier in the week and appeared to be on track for a return. The Belgian midfielder had been in strong form before the thigh issue emerged, and his unavailability is a blow for Lyon heading into a fixture with significant implications for their Champions League qualification push. No return timeline has been provided beyond Sunday's fixture.
