Red-hot Lyon striker Moussa Dembele could be set for fresh anguish after a team leak named him on the bench for tonight's Champions League semi-final with Bayern Munich.
Get French Football News have shared a predicted starting XI and it doesn't include the man who left Manchester City on the tournament canvas.
Dembele netted a deadly double during 15-minute cameo to secure a 3-1 win over Pep Guardiola's side and many pundits have predicted he would start the showcase in Lisbon tonight.
But Rudi Garcia looks set to go with Karl Toko Ekambi supporting Memphis Depay and leave the £60m-rated Manchester United target on the bench.
Dembele looked sensational against the Premier League big boys and admitted after the win on Saturday that he used the pre-match setback as motivation
He said: "It was difficult match against a very big team
"When you're on the bench it's not always easy but you've got to keep your spirits up and make sure that when the coach brings you on you play your part."
"There's always this bit of sadness for a player when you don't start a match. But a match is long and as long as the referee hasn't blown the final whistle, there's always a possibility.
"After the break the team came back and made a promise to try and give everything each time we're on the pitch.
A win for Lyon over Bayern would set up a showdown with Ligue 1 rivals and guarantee a French winner for the first time since Marseille lifted the inaugural Champions League back in 1992.
