Ligue 1: Ernest Nuamah scores brace with Lyon against Rennes after injury-plagued season
The Ghanaian international striker for Olympique Lyonnais returns to form after a lengthy recovery from a serious knee injury.
Ghanaian striker Ernest Nuamah scored a brace on Saturday, September 19, in Olympique Lyonnais's 4-0 victory over Rennes in Ligue 1, according to RFI.
According to the outlet, the player had navigated the 2025/2026 season "like a ghost" with the Rhône-based club, due to a serious knee injury that had kept him sidelined for an extended period.
RFI indicates that Nuamah "has gotten back on his feet" and is now enjoying "a solid start to the season," with his brace against Rennes providing further evidence of this return to form.
The outlet notes, however, that the Ghanaian striker must still demonstrate this regained form "over time," following a period of physical setbacks that had affected his playing time.
