Lyon boosted by Lisandro Lopez fitness

Lyon's hopes of claiming third place in Ligue 1 have been handed a boost by the news that Lisandro Lopez will be fit for the trip to Nancy on Sunday.

Lopez was expected to miss the game having sat out training earlier in the week, but coach Remi Garde has now confirmed that he will be fit to play.

"He sat out training earlier this week because of a calf problem but everything is fine now," Garde told reporters.

Lyon are battling for third with Saint-Etienne, Lille and Nice.
