The Racing Club de Lens travels to London to face Arsenal this Wednesday evening in the Champions League (9 p.m.). Here is the expected lineup for the Sang et Or.
A few weeks after its epic success against Arsenal (2-1), the Racing Club de Lens returns to the London club for a second round which promises to be perilous, this Wednesday evening, at the Emirates Stadium (kick-off at 9 p.m. ). A match that the Sang et Or will approach with an eleven close to their typical team.
Uncertainty hovers before this meeting. It concerns Deiver Machado. The Colombian piston was missing during the trip to Clermont in Ligue 1 on Saturday (3-0). Franck Haise will also have to do without his striker Morgan Guilavogui, suspended after his red card received against PSV Eindhoven two weeks ago (0-1).
For the rest, all the Lensois executives are expected at kick-off, although the suspense remains for the support attacker position, where Thomasson, Fulgini and Sotoca are in the balance. Wahi should still have the confidence of his coach despite his bout of bloodshed at Clermont. Frankowski will start on his side, while the 3-man defense Medina-Gradit-Danso will continue. Samba will hold his place in the goals.
The expected composition for Lens : Samba – Medina, Gradit, Danso – Frankowski, Abdul Samed, Mendy, Haïdara – Fulgini, Thomasson, Wahi.
