Lens predicted XI v Brest: Facundo Medina suspended, Elye Wahi to start | OneFootball

There is good and bad news for RC Lens manager Franck Haise. The Frenchman will be able to count on Elye Wahi, who had been a doubt with a shoulder injury, however, he must also contend with multiple absences, most notably Facundo Medina, who misses out through suspension.

Massadio Haidara (31, thigh), Jhoanner Chavez (21, calf), Deiver Machado (30, match fitness) are certain to miss the clash at Stade Bolleart, all of whom play on the left side of the defence. It is therefore Abdukodir Khusanov, the promising Uzbek, who is expected to start alongside the regulars in the three-man defence.

L’Équipe understands that Neil El-Aynaoui and Nampalys Mendy will get the nod in midfield, ahead of Salis Abdul Samed and Andy Diouf.
