Lille OSC will be without Edon Zhegrova as they prepare to host FC Nantes. He is confirmed to be out of Bruno Genesio’s side, along a whole host of other players.
As well as Zhegrova, Lille will be without Tiago Santos, Samuel Umtiti, Nabil Bentaleb, Ethan Mbappé, and Mitchel Bakker. All of the aforementioned, bar Bakker, are injured. The latter is suspended for the match against Les Canaris. It means that Genesio’s options are somewhat limited, however, there is room in the squad for England international Angel Gomes, who makes his return from injury.
Whilst Gomes is back in the matchday squad, he is not expected to start. The midfielder is free to sign a pre-contract agreement with another club, as is Jonathan David, who will lead the line for Lille.
