At a press conference, LOSC coach Bruno Genesio took stock of his group on the eve of the match against FC Nantes.
Solid fourth in Ligue 1, LOSC will begin its year 2025 with the reception this Saturday (7 p.m.) of FC Nantes, 14th in the ranking and in the midst of a results crisis for several weeks. A match during which the Mastiffs will try to continue their incredible series of invincibility. But to face the Canaries, Bruno Genesio will be deprived of six players.
Indeed, Nabil Bentaleb, Samuel Umtiti, Tiago Santos, Ethan Mbappé, Edon Zhegrova and Mitchel Bakker will be absent, as the Lille coach announced this Friday at a pre-match press conference.
Zhegrova still has adductor injury
“We have Mitchel Bakker who is suspended. Ethan Mbappé is progressing well, but is not operational. He is in an individualized session. We can imagine a return at the end of the month. Edon Zhegrova is absent. He still has his adductor pain which makes him suffer and prevents him from being 100%. We decided to take the time so that he could regain full possession of his means. I don't have deadlines. Add Nabil Bentaleb, Samuel Umtiti and Tiago Santos,” lamented Bruno Genesio to the media in comments reported by Le Petit Lillois.
