There it gets complicated. While Florian Sotoca is very uncertain for Saturday's match against Nantes, Will Still only has Rémy Labeau-Lascary in his attacking group.
Satriano injured, Saïd injured, Nzola suspended and Sotoca injured against PSG last weekend. That's a lot for a sector that was said to be too important at the start of the season. Young Rémy Labeau-Lascary is very alone at the moment. But in recent weeks, and again this morning, the Lensois group has made some room for young Kembo Diliwidi.
Author of 4 goals in 6 matches this season in National 3, the 18-year-old center forward decided to continue the adventure at the club last April, by signing a trainee contract. Since then, everything has accelerated for the native of Beuvry, near Béthune. Training with the big boys, a first call-up to the French U19 team which ended with a double against the English.
“One of the solutions we have for this weekend”
Kembo Diliwidi is progressing well and could certainly seize his chance this Saturday. “Kembo, he’s been training with us for a good two weeksunderlines Will Still. And Kembo scores with the reserve, he has a sense of goal, it's interesting. It's not yet a finished product, far from it, but it's one of the solutions we have for this weekend. There's a good chance he's in the group. »
“I take the depth a lot. I like to unhook toothe player told us recently. I need to improve my last gesture (…). I lose a lot of stupid balls at times. My head game is complicated too. » But the boy is taking the steps, especially since his move to Blue last month.
“He is not afraid to make contact”
In training, Adrien Thomasson appreciates what he discovers. “I like it a lot because he shows a lot of personality. Honestly, out of all the young guys coming up with us, he's one of the players that struck me the most in that regard. He's not afraid. He comes, he is not afraid to make contact, even to be at the limit sometimes. But it shows some personality. It's important for a young player, when you arrive with the professionals, to show that you're not just coming to make up the numbers. And then, afterwards, with obviously the few players in attack, maybe he will have an opportunity to express himself. Afterwards, there are still steps to take. But I see a player with great potential, in whom the club believes strongly. I can't wait for him to play his first minutes with us and bring us what he knows how to do. »
