Lens welcomes PSV Eindhoven for the 3rd day of the Champions League group stage, this Tuesday (9 p.m.). Here is the probable composition of the Blood and Gold.
Still lagging behind in Ligue 1, the Racing Club de Lens is ready to put on its gala costume for a new European evening. Franck Haise’s men are still undefeated in the prestigious Champions League. With 4 points collected following the draw in Seville (1-1) and the feat against Arsenal (2-1), the Sang et Or approach a double confrontation that looks like a turning point against PSV Eindhoven.
And the good news is that Franck Haise will be able to count on an almost complete squad for this match, since only Jimmy Cabot (knee) and Wuilker Farinez (leg), long-term players, will be absent for this match. Above all, the Lensois coach will once again be able to rely on a strong element of his group: Elye Wahi. The Espoir international makes his return after being absent against Le Havre last Friday (0-0).
“ I deal with the sequence of matches and the intensityexplained Franck Haise at a press conference. The reflection is necessarily different if we take into account the emotional level and other aspects. There is also the fact that we have more internationals. I try to have players with physical and mental freshness in each match. There is therefore more turnover this season. But the group also has a larger, quality core, perhaps more homogeneous. »
A turnover which should not concern the Champions League since an eleven very close to that aligned against Arsenal is expected, with all the executives from the kick-off, from Samba to Sotoca, via Danso, Gradit, Medina, Frankowski or Machado.
The expected composition of Lens : Samba – Gradit, Danso, Medina – Frankowski, Mendy, Abdul Samed, Machado – Sotoca, Wahi, Thomasson.
