RC Lens will likely play their Saturday match against OGC Nice without Przemyslaw Frankowski. The Polish defender is strongly rumored to be leaving the Ligue 1 club.
Galatasaray is reportedly trying to sign him before the Turkish transfer window closes on Tuesday. Consequently, Frankowski has been left out of the squad for the upcoming game. Nampalys Mendy and David Pereira Da Costa are in a similar situation, as both are also expected to depart from Lens soon.
Frankowski’s absence, along with Ruben Aguilar’s injury, may lead to Florian Sotoca playing as a right wing-back. New signing Mathew Ryan is also injured and will miss this match. Hervé Koffi is expected to start in goal for Will Still’s team against Nice.
Likely Lens Starting XI vs OGC Nice
Hervé Koffi; Facundo Medina, Malang Sarr, Jonathan Gradit; Deiver Machado, Andy Diouf, Neil El-Aynaoui, Adrien Thomasson, Florian Sotoca; M’Bala Nzola, Goduine Koyalipou.
