RC Lens hosts Friborg in the round of 16 first leg of the Europa League, this Thursday (9 p.m.). Here is the expected lineup for the Sang et Or.

After finishing third in its group in the Champions League, Racing Club de Lens continues its European adventure in the Europa League. And the Sang et Or will have a card to play against the German team of Fribourg, this Thursday evening, in the round of 16 first leg of the competition.

An important match that Franck Haise approaches with a somewhat decimated group. The coach of the Artesian club must indeed deal with the absences of several senior players, including Medina – suspended – and Machado, who is too weak physically.

Haise makes strong choices

Despite these absences, Lens should present themselves to Bollaert with an eleven which will look great. 3 strong choices are expected in the northern ranks: the tenure of Pereira Da Costa, Diouf and El-Aynaoui. These 3 players have scored points in recent weeks and symbolize the club’s revival in Ligue 1.

For the rest, the other usual executives are expected, from Samba in the goals to Wahi on the attacking front, including Gradit, Danso, Frankowski and Sotoca.

The expected composition for Lens: Samba – Gradit, Danso, Haïdara – Aguilar, El-Aynaoui, Diouf, Frankowski – Sotoca, Pereira Da Costa – Wahi.
