Lille’s Predicted Lineup Against Nantes: Key Players Missing

As Lille OSC prepares to welcome FC Nantes, they face significant squad challenges. Several key players, including Edon Zhegrova, will be unavailable for Bruno Genesio’s team.

In addition to Zhegrova, Lille will be without Tiago Santos, Samuel Umtiti, Nabil Bentaleb, Ethan Mbappé, and Mitchel Bakker. All except Bakker are sidelined due to injuries, while Bakker is serving a suspension for the match against Nantes. Despite these setbacks, there’s positive news with the return of English midfielder Angel Gomes from injury, though he’s not expected to start.

Jonathan David, who like Gomes is free to negotiate with other clubs, is set to lead Lille’s attack. The limited options have forced Genesio to adjust his strategy for the upcoming match.

Lille’s Probable Starting XI vs Nantes:

Lucas Chevalier; Gabriel Gudmundsson, Alexsandro, Bafodé Diakité, Aïssa Mandi; Ngal’ayel Mukau, Benjamin André; Hákon Arnar Haraldsson, Rémy Cabella, Matias Fernandez-Pardo; Jonathan David.
