Absent on Sunday for the match once morest Lens (2-1), Laurent Blanc had been replaced by his assistant Franck Passi on the OL bench. The Lyon coach had just been taken care of overnight for a health problem, and he then had to do tests and observe rest. He was not in training this Tuesday, but he was able to speak with his group in video.
In the evening, OL communicated that their coach was absent on the grounds of “pneumopathy”, specifying that he was under treatment and that his condition was improving. He will therefore most likely not be there for this Wednesday morning’s session open to the public, and his presence for the trip to Auxerre, which the team will make by bus on Thursday evening, is uncertain.
