Lucas Chevalier overtaken at mid-season, distribution of playing time in the LOSC squad

The winter break has given way to the end-of-year celebrations. The perfect opportunity to take stock of the distribution of playing time at LOSC. Lucas Chevalier, starting goalkeeper, is ahead of him.

Five months of competition for 26 matches played in all competitions, LOSC has been evolving at a Dantesque pace since the start of the season. Last Friday, the Lille team concluded its first part of the season with a narrow victory in Rouen (0-1), before letting its men enjoy the end-of-year celebrations. These are an opportunity to take stock of the first months of competition, particularly with regard to the playing time granted by Bruno Genesio to his men.

The dynamics recorded in October are significantly similar to the progress of the rest of the season, with the exception of
Lucas Chevalier (2280 minutes) who, by giving an opportunity to Vito Mannone (90) in the Coupe de France, is now ahead of Bafode Diakité (2325). The latter is the player most used by the Lille technical staff since the start of the season. Symbol of the confidence that the latter places in its central hinge,
Alexsandro (2116) is in third position. The tauliers are then Benjamin Andrew,
Jonathan David et Gabriel Gudmundsson when the rest of the playing time is gradually diluted between the individuals of the northern locker room.

Regarding summer recruits, Thomas
Meunier (1389) is still the one most used by Bruno Genesio. The Belgian shares similar playing time with Aïssa Mandi (1240) et Osame Sahraoui (1172). These are the three reinforcements most aligned on the meadow. The progression of Matias Fernandez-Pardowho has become a real option on the attacking front, is also worth noting with 662 minutes logged since his return to France.
