The lineup of Lens against Nantes: Franck Haise’s daring bet

Franck Haise, the coach of Lens, made important choices for the opposition against Nantes this Saturday.

This Saturday evening, on the occasion of the 10e lifted from Ligue 1, RC Lens takes on Nantes in its stronghold of Bollaert. The northern team lined up for this game is not the same one that played midweek in the Champions League.

Thomasson finds his place in the Lens eleven

Franck Haise, the Sang et Or coach, chose in particular to do without Angelo Fulgini and bring back Adrien Thomasson to complete his attacking trio. The latter will play up front alongside Elye Wahi and Florian Sotoca.

The coach of the French vice-champions must also do without Wesley Said (injured) and Morgan Guilavogui. But, these two are not usually starters. This therefore does not impact his eleven too much.

In midfield, we find Diouf next to Abdul Samad, while Machado and Aguilar will be expected to liven up the corridors by occupying the roles of the pistons.

Behind, the axis trio remains unchanged. Danso, Medina and Gradit remain faithful to the positions, as does goalkeeper captain Brice Samba.

The Lens eleven against Nantes:

Samba; Gradit, Danso, Medina; Abdul Samed, A. Diouf, Machado, Aguilar; Sotoca, Wahi, Thomasson.
