On December 6, 2021, Olympique Lyonnais was leading Girondins de Bordeaux 2-1, thanks to a goal from Thiago Mendes, but Jason Denayer's evening was cut short due to an injury.
Denayer was involved in an aerial duel that left him on the ground for an extended period, and he seemed to be experiencing heel pain. Before the break, he was replaced by Damien Da Silva, who took his place in the three-way defense aligned by Lyon coach Peter Bosz.
