Lens and Lorient face each other this Friday for the 32nd day of Ligue 1 (9 p.m.). Here is the expected lineup for the Sang et Or.
Sixth in Ligue 1, Racing Club de Lens has not said its last word for a qualifying place for the Champions League. But the Blood and Gold can no longer burn a joker. It starts with an important match to negotiate against a poorly ranked team, Lorient, this Friday evening (kick-off at 9 p.m.).
A meeting that Lens approaches with a decimated squad. “ Neil (El Aynaoui) will be out until the end of the season, he has a sprained left knee, explained Franck Haise. We will only get him back for next season’s preparation. Johanner (Chavez) has thigh discomfort again, not in the same place. We’ll see how next week goes, either we have a chance to get him back for the end of the season, or it will be limited. In any case, it will be unavailable this weekend. Salis (Abdul Samed) trained this week, he is back. Jo (Jonathan) Gradit served his match suspension and Kodir (Abdukodir Khusanov) returned to training today. »
Franck Haise must decide for his environment
So which eleven will Lensois approach this match with? Who will replace El Aynaoui? Several uncertainties remain a few hours before kick-off. In attack, Fulgini is applying for a starting place, while Mendy and Diouf could be associated in midfield. Aguilar and Machado are expected to start as pistons.
For the rest, there is no major surprise to expect in the Lensois eleven. The Gradit-Danso-Medina trio holds up in defense, while Samba will start in goal.
The expected composition for Lens : Samba (cap) – Gradit, Danso, Medina – Aguilar, Mendy, Diouf, Machado – Sotoca, Fulgini – Wahi.
