Without striker Jonathan David, Lille will have to struggle to validate their qualification for the Europa League.
Lille hosts Klaksvik this Thursday in the Europa League. An important meeting for the Mastiffs, who can validate their qualification for the round of 16 in the event of a victory.
But LOSC will have to do without its star scorer, Jonathan David. Hit in the calf, the Canadian is out of this match, and perhaps even for the one against Paris Saint-Germain, Sunday in Ligue 1.
“I expect him to have recovered, but honestly, I don’t know,” LOSC coach Paulo Fonseca said at a press conference.
The absence of the Brooklyn native is a hard blow for the Ligue 1 resident. Indeed, the 23-year-old striker is the club’s top scorer this season, with six goals in all competitions.
