Lyon coach Blanc calls for 'common sense' from Chelsea

Lyon coach Laurent Blanc has called for "common sense" from Chelsea over the handling of Malo Gusto.

The fullback was signed by Chelsea in January and loaned back to OL.

Gusto suffered a muscle injury during the round of 16 of the French Cup win against Lille.

Blanc spoke about the fullback's condition ahead of Sunday's match against Lens in Ligue 1: "He's still not feeling well even if there haven't been any new tendon problems from the knee injured in the past.

"He is certainly not able to play. Sunday at the latest he will be on the bench. I hope that in managing these problems the club and Chelsea show common sense."
