Auxerre predicted XI v OGC Nice: Lassine Sinayoko to start amid exit talk | OneFootball

Lassine Sinayoko is expected to start in what may be his final game for AJ Auxerre. The Malian forward, who came through the ranks at L’AJA, is the subject of links to Saturday’s opponents OGC Nice, as well as RC Lens.

Sinayoko emerged as a key target for Nice, but amid talks between Le Gym and Auxerre, Lens swooped in and looked to have hijacked the deal for the centre-forward. In the meantime, he will look to give his side a parting gift. He is expected to lead the line, instead of Theo Bair.

Christophe Pélissier is not expected to spring any surprises at the Allianz Riviera on Saturday night. Sinaly Diomandé, Telli Siwe, and Oussama El Azzouzi, who arrived earlier in the summer, are all out with injuries.
