Lyon will resume their Coupe de France campaign against Chambery at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Decines-Charpieu on Saturday (January 21).
Les Gones are looking to reach the round of 16 for the fifth season in a row after losing out in the fourth round of the competition to Marseille in the 2015-16 edition. However, the mood in the camp isn't particularly great after Lyon failed to win their last two games.
After beating Metz in the French Cup, Laurent Blanc's side drew goalless with Nantes in Ligue 1 before going down 2-1 to Strasbourg at home a few days later.
