The Ghana international was included in coach coach Sylvain Ripoll which travelled to Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday in their Ligue 1 opener.

But Waris was not used and could not sit on the bench either.

This is because the former Trabzonspor player is 'exit letter' from the Turkish Football Federation.

Waris completed a € 4.5m move last week to Lorient as a replacement for compatriot Jordan Ayew who was sold to Aston Villa.
