Lille OSC heads into the second leg of their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 match against Borussia Dortmund in France with a clean bill of health regarding new injuries.
Edon Zhegrova, absent from play throughout 2025, has resumed training. However, he is not yet ready for a full return to action and will remain unavailable for selection. Matias Fernandez-Pardo is anticipated to fill his position in the starting lineup. Mitchell Bakker might be considered as a substitute, starting on the bench.
Other players unavailable for selection include Tiago Santos, who is sidelined for the rest of the season, as well as Samuel Umiti and Nabil Bentaleb, both ineligible to participate for Lille in the Champions League. With Ayyoub Bouaddi expected to start in midfield, Angel Gomes, an England international, may begin the game as a substitute.
