Lille OSC and Bruno Genesio are far from fully armed as they prepare to welcome Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night.
Genesio must contend with multiple absences. Angel Gomes is suspended after being sent off for two yellow cards in the opener. André Gomes, who arrived as a free agent after the deadline for squad submission, is ineligible. There is then a long injury list to contend with.
Ismaily, Samuel Umitit, Nabil Bentaleb, Hákon Arnar Haraldsson, Ngal’ayel Mukau, and Ethan Mbappé are all absent for Lille. The latter has suffered a quadriceps injury that will see him ruled out for several weeks. He therefore misses out on the chance of a reunion with brother Kylian Mbappé. Ayyoub Bouaddi will start in the midfield for Lille as he celebrates his 17th birthday.
Lille likely lineup v Real Madrid
Lucas Chevalier; Gabriel Gudmundsson, Alexsandro, Bafodé Diakité, Thomas Meunier; Ayyoub Bouaddi, Benjamin André; Osame Sahraoui, Rémy Cabella, Edon Zhegrova; Jonathan David. (L’Éq)
