RC Lens travel to face league leaders Paris Saint-Germain in the midst of a significant injury crisis with seven players unavailable for the the match this afternoon. However, Will Still will still be thankful that the two doubts for the game Przemysław Frankowski and Andy Diouf are both available in the matchday squad.

The biggest changes caused by these absences are in midfield with Diouf benched and Facundo Medina suspended. In last weekend’s derby against Lille OSC, Adrien Thomasson had played in a more advanced role but he will drop back to partner with summer signing Hamzat Ojediran to shield the back three.

Anass Zaroury had played as the left-sided wingback during the defeat to Lille but will likely move into the number 10 position vacated by Thomasson. In place of Zaroury, Still could bring Deiver Machado back into the starting lineup.

Brice Samba; Abdukodir Khusanov, Kevin Danso, Jonathan Gradit; Deiver Machado, Hamzat Ojediran, Adrien Thomasson, Przemysław Frankowski; Anass Zaroury; M’Bala Nzola, Florian Sotoca. (L’Éq)
