Injured during the preparation, Ethan Mbappé is in the Losc squad for the 3rd preliminary round first leg of the Champions League against Fenerbahçe. He could make his big debut with the Dogues.

News from Ethan Mbappé! We left the injured Bondy player, who suffered an ankle injury during a friendly match against Genk on July 20. And his message posted on social networks (“I hope to return as soon as possible”) raised fears of a prolonged absence.

Clearly, Ethan Mbappé is doing better, since the young midfielder (17 years old) is indeed in the group unveiled by Bruno Genesio for the 3rd preliminary round first leg of the Champions League against Fenerbahçe. The little brother of you-know-who could thus make his debut in his new colors, he who joined Losc this summer at the end of his aspirant contract with Paris Saint-Germain.

For this decisive match, the Dogues will be able to count on all their summer recruits, since Aissa Mandi, Thomas Meunier, Osame Sarhaoui and Ngal’ayel Mukau also appear on the list of players called up by the new northern coach.

In qualifying at the expense of José Mourinho’s Fenerbahçe, Lille would face the Czechs of Slavia Prague or the Belgians of Union Saint-Gilloise in the Play-offs.
