Lyon Players Pay Emotional Tribute to Injured Ernest Nuamah in Europa League Clash with Manchester United

Olympique Lyonnais players displayed a touching show of support for Ghanaian winger Ernest Nuamah during their 2-2 Europa League draw against Manchester United on Thursday evening.

Nuamah, a rising star for both club and country, was recently ruled out for the rest of the season after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in Lyon’s Ligue 1 encounter against Strasbourg.

The injury is expected to sideline the 20-year-old for at least four to six months, dealing a blow to both Lyon’s campaign and Ghana’s national team plans.

During Thursday’s high-profile fixture at Groupama Stadium, Lyon players seized the moment to lift their teammate’s spirits.

Following their first goal in the match, teammates Moussa Niakhite and Corentin Tolisso led a heartfelt celebration by hoisting Nuamah’s jersey high in the air. The gesture was met with cheers from the home crowd, highlighting the unity and camaraderie within the squad.
