20-Year-Old
Lyon
Ligue 1
Emerging talent in Lyon
Fofana featured in 39 matches for Lyon across all competitions during the 2024-25 season, scoring 11 goals and providing five assists.
ANALYSIS
Fofana's contributions as a winger showcased his potential and importance to Lyon's attacking options. His goal involvement of 16 in 39 games indicates a growing influence on the team's offensive output for his second season at the club. With further experience, Fofana could become a mainstay in the starting lineup and take on a bigger role in the frontline with the departure of Alexandre Lacazette and the very likely exit of Rayan Cherki.

Hopeful to face United
Fofana (knee) is eyeing a return against Manchester United on Thursday, according to manager Paulo Fonseca. "Malick, on the other hand, will not be available. I think he will be back for the next game against Manchester United. Malick is not yet training with the group. He should resume with us next week. He is pursuing a normal recovery, but it would have been too risky to make him play tomorrow."
