One more package! RC Lens will have to deal with a decimated defense against OM!

RC Lens will approach its crucial match against Olympique de Marseille this Saturday, November 23, 2024 at 5 p.m. in a delicate context. The team led by Will Still will have to deal with a series of notable absences, particularly in defense, which could complicate the task of the Sang et Or in this decisive meeting for the rest of their season in Ligue 1.

The right side Przemysław Frankowskiinjured in his adductors during his last meeting with the Polish selection, should not be in the game against OM. Although his injury is described as minor, his recovery will require around ten days of absence, which will prevent him from holding his place on the field. This absence is added to that of Jimmy Cabotlong injured, and Ruben Aguilar, also unavailable, making the right side sector particularly vulnerable.

Frankowski injured, shortage in the right lane

In addition to Frankowski, RC Lens will be deprived of two important central defenders for this clash against OM. Abdukodir Khusanovsent off during the last match against PSG, will serve a suspension, while Jonathan Gradetwho has accumulated three yellow cards in less than ten matches, will not be able to take part in the match. These absences leave the Sang et Or defense in great difficulty and raise the question of who will be lined up to compensate for these shortcomings.

At the dawn of this meeting, Lens occupies 8th place in the Ligue 1 standings, just three points behind OM, currently 3rd. This match is therefore a golden opportunity for the Sang et Or to get back into the lead, but the defensive absences risk weighing heavily against a solid and in great shape OM.
