Clinton Mata
33-Year-Old
Lyon
Ligue 1
OUT
Injury Hamstring
Est. Return 12/7/2025
Not available yet
Mata (hamstring) won't be an option for Sunday's clash against Nantes since he hasn't resumed team training yet, according to Olympique et Lyonnais.
ANALYSIS
Mata is still dealing with his hamstring injury and will need a bit more time before returning to the match squad since he hasn't returned to team training yet. The defender is an undisputed starter in central defense, therefore his absence will have to be replaced in the starting XI, with Tanner Tessmann as the most likely option after his spell in Auxerre in that position.
