Nantes Predicted XI v Lens: Matthis Abline starts, Mostafa Mohamed dropped | OneFootball

FC Nantes have run into a difficult patch with the club on a seven-game winless streak. Faith in Antoine Kombouaré is reportedly still strong but La Maison Jaune remain only a point above the relegation zone and victories will be needed soon.

Komboauré will look to make a series of changes from the last defeat at home to Olympique de Marseille. Tino Kadewere has not travelled with the squad to RC Lens after he picked up an injury. The Zimbabwean attacker will be replaced by the more defensive Jean-Philippe Gbamin.

Up front, Mostafa Mohamed drops to the bench with Ignatius Ganago given a runout. Similarly, Sorba Thomas does not make the cut with last season’s key player Matthis Abline likely to start on the right of the front three.
