Bruno Genesio will not really be able to count on the international break to prepare for the totally crazy schedule to come. Many LOSC players have been called up for selection and he finds himself with a restricted group.
Overall satisfied with the start of the season made by his group, which ended with qualification for the Champions League with three points gleaned in the league phase and a fifth place in the championship, Bruno Genesio projects himself with less serenity into a future which particularly heated announcement: “We have a cycle of matches after the break which is quite incredibleadmits the technician. There is an extraordinary program with three away matches with Monaco, Atlético (Madrid) and Lens… and then Lyon, Juve (Turin) and Rennes I thinkhe quoted following LOSC’s victory over Toulouse on Saturday (2-1). We will have to recover well to have all our strength and be able to continue this important pace. »
To do this, the Lille coach would undoubtedly have liked to be able to count on two weeks of intensive work with a consistent group during the international break. However, around ten of them have set sail to defend the colors of their selection and they will have to deal with a limited workforce: “Between the young players, the prospects, the A, I think I only have seven players (10 in reality, without the goalkeepers) in training. I admit that I haven’t prepared a list, but there won’t be many of us, with the three goalkeepers added.”confided Bruno Genesio who will, in fact, “only” be able to rely on Bafodé Diakité, Thomas Meunier, Benjamin André, André Gomes, Alexsandro, Mitchel Bakker, Mathias Fernandez-Pardo, Rémy Cabella, Akim Zedadka and Rafael Fernandes. Here too, the large number of injured players is felt.
