Corentin Tolisso
LYOScores in four straight starts
Tolisso scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-1 defeat versus Toulouse.
Analysis: Tolisso shows no signs of slowing down, with the midfielder extending his impressive streak to four consecutive scoring starts. Across that dominant run, he has racked up seven direct goal involvements, burying four of his six attempts on goal while also setting up three more with four chances created for teammates.
Involved in three of four goals
Tolisso had two assists and scored a goal with his lone shot while crossing once accurately and creating three chances during Sunday's 4-2 win over Rennes.
Analysis: Tolisso set up goals in the 37th and 75th minutes while converting a penalty in the 42nd. The midfielder has combined for six goal involvements, four shots and four chances created over his last three appearances with Sunday's start being his first since April 5th.
Tallies goal, assist off the bench
Tolisso scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 victory versus AJ Auxerre.
Analysis: Tolisso had a big impact as a substitute, breaking a 1-1 tie with his goal and then assisting on what would end up being the winner for Lyon. The midfielder should continue having a role against Rennes, a team which has scored a lot of goals but has also conceded 41 times so far in Ligue 1 play.
Option to face Auxerre
Tolisso (muscular) returned to full team training Friday and is back available for Saturday's clash against Auxerre, according to coach Paulo Fonseca, per Le Progres OL.
Analysis: Tolisso had been ruled out of Sunday's clash against PSG while working individually with muscular problems, making his return to the group a significant boost for Lyon heading into the weekend. The experienced captain should not be rushed back into the starting XI, with Khalis Merah ready to step in again against the AJA. Getting Tolisso back at the heart of the midfield is exactly what Lyon needed for the final push of their season.
