The 24-year-old missed the opening game with reports linking him with a transfer move to Burnley
Ivory Coast international Maxwel Cornet has been handed his first season start by Lyon as they face Angers in a French Ligue 1 fixture on Sunday.
The 24-year-old, who has heavily been linked with a transfer move to Premier League side Burnley, missed the first game of the season against Brest which ended in a 1-1 draw.
However, Lyon coach Peter Bosz has given the player a starting role in the middle of the pack and he will play alongside another African player Toko Ekambi of Cameroon.
