The French international, who became a mother last summer, played again with Olympique Lyonnais on Saturday in D1 Arkema, a first since her career.


“Much more than a victory today”.

The Lyonnaises had things to celebrate this Saturday.

More than the success against Soyaux (3-0) during the 12th day of the Championship, which allows them to return to a point behind PSG or even the goal of Vanessa Gilles, which makes her the 100th scorer in the history of OL, it is Amel Majri that the club honored in a post on Twitter.

The French international played her first minutes after more than fifteen months of absence.

The OL left-back or winger replaced Dammaris Egurrola in the 75th minute.

"After the birth of Maryam and a heavy injury, Amel is back," said the club on its social networks, referring to a "great moment".

What to be worthily celebrated and sung by her teammates in the locker room after the meeting.

The World in the sights

Amel Majri (29) had suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and the external lateral ligament of the left knee in October 2021. Fell pregnant during her recovery, she became a mother in July 2022. Never a team player of France in activity had given birth.

The left-hander with 66 caps (11 goals) hopes to return to the France team in order to compete in the World Cup scheduled for July and August 2022 in Australia and New Zealand.

The technical palette, the grinta and the experience of the six-time European champion with OL, would make her a valuable reinforcement for Corinne Deacon's group.
