LOSC faces the Croats of Rijeka in the first leg of the Europa League Conference, this Thursday (8 p.m.). Here is the expected composition of the northern club.
Highly anticipated in Ligue 1, Lille has the opportunity to swing its season into another dimension. The northern club gets to the heart of the matter with a very important first European deadline, this Thursday, in the first leg of the Europa League Conference against the Croats of Rijeka. An opponent that the northern club does not intend to underestimate, despite his relative anonymity.
Paulo Fonseca does not hide. Asked about the repeated disappointments of French clubs, the Portuguese technician hopes to see LOSC live up to expectations. “It’s hard to explain, it’s not easy. I have already worked in Italy. In Italy, he didn’t have many clubs in the final and semi-final. And last year they have teams that get to that point. It is investment. France has one of the best championships in Europe and we have an obligation to have teams that perform well in the European Cup. »
Fonseca must do without 2 executives
To carry out this mission, the Lille coach will still have to do without the services of two important players in his defensive sector: Samuel Umtiti and Tiago Djalo. The two defenders are still in the infirmary. For the rest, the starting lineup of LOSC should be quite classic with an animation in 4-2-3-1, where the irremovable Jonathan David would be aligned in front of Zhegrova, Cabella and Haraldsson. André Gomes and André are also expected in the midfield.
The expected composition of Lille : Chevalier – Santos, Diakité, Alexsandro, Ismaily – Gomes, André – Zhegrova, Cabella, Haraldsson – David.
