Depay to be fined by Lyon after training no-show

Lyon head coach Bruno Genesio confirmed Memphis Depay will be fined after failing to report for training on the first day of pre-season preparations at the Ligue 1 club.

Depay, who scored 19 goals in 36 league appearances as Lyon finished third in 2017-18, has been linked with a transfer to AC Milan after hitting a rich vein of form in France.

At his first press conference of the season, Genesio told reporters: "I'm happy to see [the squad] again. One player out of 27 is missing. It's Memphis Depay.

"He will be punished financially when he returns. He had five weeks of vacation like everyone else."
