LYON, France (AP) — Lyon forward Alexandre Lacazette has recovered from a face injury and could play against Paris Saint-Germain in the French league on Sunday.
Lacazette has resumed light training and is on track to feature against league leader PSG at Parc des Princes, Lyon coach Pierre Sage said on Friday.
“He should be able to play the match, or at least a part of the match,” Sage said.
Lacazette was accidentally hit in the face by goalkeeper Marco Bizot near the end of last Sunday’s game against Brest and taken off on a stretcher.
Lyon won 4-3 with a penalty deep into stoppage time following Bizot’s foul on Lacazette, who is third in the league scoring charts with 15 goals and has netted 142 league goals overall for Lyon.
PSG is moving closer to a record-extending 12th French title while Lyon is in seventh place following good results since Sage took charge in December.
