The RC Lens did not make all the sales hoped for and failed to bring money into the coffers. But ultimately, this excess number (29 players instead of the 26 including goalkeepers, desired by Will Still) turns out to be a blessing in disguise at a time when Racing has 11 absent in Strasbourg.
There is everything in injuries. Several tears, sprains, long-term absences (Cabot), others to undergo examinations (Danso). And two suspended players (Labeau-Lascary, Zaroury).
In the pre-match press conference, Will Still joked that he was going to play 1-6-3, with only Khusanov in central defense. The Lensois coach will have to turn his back for this meeting with 7 potential starters forfeited, crossing his fingers that new absentees are not added.
After the break, 6 probable returns
For the resumption after the international break, RC Lens will find its suspended players (Zaroury, Labeau-Lascary) and could also count on the return of several injured : Danso, Machado, El Aynaoui, Ojediran. For Satriano, the season is over, Cabot’s is compromised and Koffi and Bané have several more weeks to go.
