Genesio and the temptation of turnover
Bruno Genesio had a rant just after the draw from Auxerre (0-0) on Friday, criticizing the behavior of his players despite their 19th match in a row without defeat. Faced with a demanding schedule, the northern coach could be tempted to rotate his squad given that he hosts Nice on Friday for a duel between European contenders, before a trip to Liverpool next Tuesday. Several changes are therefore expected in his starting lineup.
Zhegrova still left to rest
Doubts haunted him during the last league duel between the two teams. At La Commanderie, we tried to unravel the mystery and some thought that Edon Zhegrova, weakened by pubalgia, would not be traveling to Provence. He had been but had only played one half, the first. No risk this time with the Kosovar, courted by Naples, who has not appeared in the Mastiffs group since… the trip to the Vélodrome.
Mannone in the cage, anyway
The poster against OM did not change Bruno Genesio's mind: Vito Mannone will continue to keep the Lille goal in the French Cup. The technician could have been tempted to trust the usual holder, Lucas Chevalier. But he sticks to this principle of alternation and will count on the experience of the 36-year-old Italian.
