Will the Lorient-Lyon match scheduled for Sunday (1 p.m.) on behalf of the 2nd day of Ligue 1 take place at Moustoir?
This is the question we can ask ourselves after seeing the state of the hake lawn.
Under the combined effect of the heat wave and the drought currently raging in the region, the lawn looks more than gray in places, when it is simply nothing more than an old memory in others.
And to make matters worse, the passage of the Interceltic Festival of Lorient on the lawn of Moustoir, Thursday, risks aggravating the situation a little further, as entrusted by the general manager of FC Lorient, Arnaud Tanguy, to the
Telegram
, who that it is "even more damaged".
“We are doing everything with the city to have a passable lawn on Sunday.
The League will come on site on D-2, D-3 to see the state of the lawn and see if the ground is passable, which should be the case, ”he said, however, to
Ouest-France
.
I just saw the photo of the stadium on Facebook.
Quite honestly, acting on such terrain is borderline dangerous for actors.
There are places where there is no more lawn… And there are still 3 magical nights left (tonight, tomorrow and Thursday) #FCLOL pic.twitter.com/4Rpsa2M15u

OL fears for "the physical integrity of the players"
In the columns of
Progrès
, Olympique Lyonnais warned that it was “out of the question to play on a degraded lawn which could endanger the physical integrity of the players.
“We will see what the League will tell us, but our position is not to play the match under these conditions”, specifies OL.
For their part, the Bretons let it be known that they had no fallback solution to offer.
According to our colleagues, Les Gones are surprised that FC Lorient has not made a request to play its first two games of the season away from home because of the Festival, as each club is authorized before the start of the season according to League rules.
This is what OL are doing,
Le Progrès
tells us , which “generally asks not to play at home on December 8 [at Groupama Stadium], because of the Festival of Lights”.
