At a pre-match press conference this Tuesday, Bruno Génésio indicated he wanted to refuse the status of favorite while Lille faces Bologna on Wednesday.
The group: “Edon traveled with us, he will be there tomorrow. Angel is out and will be until the winter break. No other injuries, with the return of Ngala Mukau, suspended during the last match.”
The opponent: “Bologna's results are misleading compared to the level of this team, with players making an impact up front. The biggest mistake we could make would be to underestimate them. It will be as difficult as the other matches, we saw that Monaco had a lot of trouble winning here.”
The status: “I don't consider us favorites. Bologna have yet to score in the Champions League and have only taken one point, but in Serie A they are performing well. I don't agree at all with this label of favorite. It will be a very balanced, difficult match.”
The rotation: “It's very important to get players back, because I have a lot of choices to change from one match to another. It's very important to have a replenished squad. This end of the year will be a difficult period with a lot of matches tomorrow will be the 20th, it will be important to have fresh players.”
