Tanner Tessmann
LYOMuscular issue ends season
Tessmann (muscular) has been ruled out for the remainder of the season with a muscular complaint, according to coach Paulo Fonseca, per Le Progres OL.
Analysis: Tessmann ends the campaign having been one of Lyon's most consistent performers across 38 appearances in all competitions, contributing two goals, 32 tackles and 72 clearances in what was a breakthrough season for the American midfielder. The focus now shifts entirely to the World Cup this summer, where Tessmann is expected to be part of the USMNT squad for the tournament on home soil. Lyon will hope to have him fully fit and recharged for the start of the 2026/27 campaign after shutting him down for the final fixtures of the season.
Still absent, unlikely Sunday
Tessmann (undisclosed) has not yet returned to team training and is unlikely to be available for Sunday's crucial clash against Toulouse, according to Olympique et Lyonnais.
Analysis: Tessmann had been left out of the Rennes clash after missing training, and his continued absence from collective sessions is a concern heading into what is one of Lyon's most important remaining fixtures of the season. No details have been provided on the nature of the issue, and the Gones will hope he can return to fitness in time for the final fixture of the campaign if he cannot be cleared for the Toulouse trip.
Out against Rennes
Tessmann (undisclosed) was not included in the squad for Sunday's clash against Rennes after missing Saturday morning's training session, with coach Paulo Fonseca providing no details on the issue, according to the club.
Analysis: Tessmann has operated primarily in a rotational capacity this season, limiting the immediate impact of his absence on Lyon's midfield setup. No further details have been provided on the nature of the issue, leaving his availability for upcoming fixtures uncertain.
