Alexandre Lacazette returns to Lyon training

France striker Alexandre Lacazette has resumed training with Lyon after a thigh injury last month.

Lacazette, Ligue 1's top scorer with 21 goals, missed the 0-0 draw at Monaco and the 1-1 draw at home to Paris Saint-Germain.

The former European under-19 champion has been out since pulling a hamstring against Metz on Jan. 25. He is expected to miss Sunday's trip to Lorient, and return to action on Feb. 22 against Nantes.

Lyon boss Hubert Fournier told a news conference: "We hope for the return of Alex Lacazette for Nantes."
