Lyon advisor Bernard Lacombe is adamant that the French side will not take FC Chornomorets Odesa lightly in the knockout stages of the Europa League.
The Ligue 1 outfit were drawn against the fifth-placed Ukrainian team in the last 32 of the European competition on Monday, with the sides possessing contrasting expectations in the tournament.
"No, not too much. No, really," Lacombe told reporters when asked if he was happy with the French outfit's last-32 draw."I know this is a team that finished ahead of PSV Eindhoven in the preliminary round.
"They always have a particular brand of football, but it will be especially difficult because they now have a quite peculiar period. They go on a break.
"We hope to be a bit physically ahead of them, as we will resume the championship earlier. Anything is possible in football, but we're not sure much about our opponents."
Lyon, who sit 10th in Ligue 1, host Reims on Wednesday.
