Lille predicted XI v Sturm Graz: Angel Gomes and Edon Zhegrova to be rested | OneFootball

Heading into the second leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League tie against Sturm Graz, Lille OSC hold a 3-0 advantage, which will likely lead Paulo Fonseca to rest some key players for the tie.

Whilst Jonathan David, the most form striker in Europe’s top five divisions in 2024, may still lead the line against the Austrian side, some of the more creative elements of the side may make way. As well as goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, who will be replaced by Vito Mannone, players such as Angel Gomes and Edon Zhegrova, could be rested with a tie against Stade Brestois coming up on Sunday afternoon.

Whilst there are no new major injury concerns for Fonseca to contend with, the Portuguese manager is nonetheless dealing with a weakened squad with Samuel Umtit, Adam Ounas, Tiago Morais and Andrej Ilic all absent.
