After its elimination in the Europa League and criticism from certain supporters, RC Lens wants to react this Sunday against AS Monaco. A meeting to follow live on our site from 1 p.m.

Lens-Monaco, pre-match:

It’s the next match for the Sang et Or. Well less than 72 hours after its elimination in the Europa League in Friborg (3-2 ap), RC Lens wants to react this Sunday with the reception of AS Monaco in championship. For the Artesians, it would be an opportunity to respond on the pitch to the few supporters who took the players to task, accusing them of having given in in Germany after leading 2-0 at half-time.

We will not change the criticism against anyoneconfided Franck Haise at a press conference, relays L’Equipe. It’s not serious. There are courageous fools behind their screens. I am always with my players. They are not cheaters but guys who give everything. I am guarantor of these values. »

Sixth in Ligue 1, RC Lens is attacking a crucial part of its season, with five gala matches on the program between now and the end of March (Monaco, Lyon, Brest, Nice, Lille), decisive in the race for a new European qualification. It’s a bit the same thing for AS Monaco, which is struggling in 2024 (only one success in the championship), and which will have two big tests, successively facing Lens and PSG.

Lens-Monaco, the probable lineups:

After the 120 minutes played Thursday evening in Germany, Franck Haise could make a certain turnover for this meeting. Monaco, which is not playing in European competition this season, should follow a fairly classic pattern.

Lens: Samba – Gradit, Danso, Medina – Aguilar, Mendy, Diouf, Chavez – Thomasson, Saïd, Pereira Da Costa.

Monaco: Köhn – Magassa, Maripan, Salisu – Singo, Fofana, Zakaria, Ouattara – Golovin, Minamino – Ben Yedder.
