Lens predicted XI v Reims: Neil El-Aynaoui suspended | OneFootball

Neil l-Aynaoui is suspended for RC Lens as they host Stade de Reims at the Bollaert on Friday night. However, Will Still, who is coming up against his former club, does not have any fresh injury concerns for the encounter.

Lens are at the back of the pack but still in contention to secure some form of European football come the end of the season. In their pursuit of that, Les Sang et Or will welcome back M’Bala Nzola, who missed out last week due to disciplinary reasons with the centre-forward sanctioned. L’Équipe understands that he will lead the line tonight with Wesley Saïd and Florian Sotoca on either side.

Joanthan Gradit, who signed a contract extension in midweek, will start in the three-man defence alongside Malang Sarr and Facundo Medina.
