Pavel Šulc assists in Lyon victory following injury return

Pavel Šulc marked his return to professional competition for Lyon in the Ligue 1 season opener against Toulouse. After recovering from a knee injury that caused him to miss several matches, including Champions League qualifiers, the Czech international entered the game as a substitute in the 63rd minute.

Within five minutes of his appearance, Šulc provided the assist for Noah Nartey’s opening goal. Lyon secured a 2-0 victory, with Malick Fofana scoring the second goal late in the match. This appearance is Šulc’s first competitive action since mid-July.
