Nantes predicted XI v Lens: Moses Simon’s Nigeria heroics provides opportunity for Florent Mollet and Tino Kadewere | OneFootball

The likes of Jean-Charles Castelletto and Mostafa Mohamed have returned to FC Nantes following their exit from the Africa Cup of Nations but Les Canaris remain without Moses Simon as Nigeria progressed to the semi-finals after a 1-0 victory over Angola.

Castelletto and Mohamed will slot back into the lineup. However, Simon’s absence will mean that Florent Mollet will once again start on the left, while Tino Kadewere on loan from Olympique Lyonnais with an option to buy at the end of the season will play on the right flank.

Elsewhere, winter signing  Kelvin Amian Adou will remain in the first team following his debut last weekend against Stade de Reims, wherein Les Canaris secured a clean sheet away from home leaving the side in 13th place before their visit from RC Lens.
