Olympique Lyonnais general manager Claude Puel has hinted that his side may add to their squad before the transfer window closes on Tuesday.

A spate of hamstring injuries have seriously hampered les Gones in the early weeks of this campaign, with Michel Bastos, Cris, Aly Cissokho and Ederson all picking up injuries to the muscle over the course of the last three weeks. With the Champions League approaching and his squad a little thin on the ground, particularly in defence, Puel may move.

“You never know what can happen,” Puel told his club’s official website. “Until the last moment, things may happen.

"The fact that possibly some of our players are wanted, it can act as musical chairs. In this case, someone would sign for us. The group is balanced but anything is possible.”

President Jean-Michel Aulas hinted that there may be an additional arrival after acquiring Yoann Gourcuff from Girondins de Bordeaux earlier this week, but there have been no standout names linked to the Stade Gerland side in recent weeks.
