Lille predicted XI v Borussia Dortmund: Angel Gomes on the bench, Matias Fernandez-Pardo to start | OneFootball

Lille OSC don’t have any fresh injury concerns as they welcome Borussia Dortmund to the north of France in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 clash.

Edon Zhegrova, who has not played in 2025, has now returned to training, however, he is not yet fit to make his return and so he remains sidelined. In his place, it is expected to be Matias Fernandez-Pardo who starts with Mitchell Bakker perhaps only good enough for a place on the bench.

Tiago Santos, out until the end of the season, Samuel Umiti and Nabil Bentaleb, ineligible to play for Lille in the Champions League, are the other absentees. With Ayyoub Bouaddi starting midfield, England international Angel Gomes may have to settle for a place on the bench.
