Already facing several absences for the trip to Marseille on Saturday, March 8 (8:45 PM, 25th matchday of Ligue 1), RC Lens might see its injury list grow. Neil El Aynaoui, who was injured during the last match, raises concerns just days ahead of this important encounter.
The midfielder had to leave his teammates in the second half after experiencing discomfort in his hamstrings. This is a potential blow for Will Still, who is now awaiting further information on his player’s condition: “We will wait for the additional tests, but it’s not ideal. When he has to come off, it’s troublesome. We’ve had a lot of injuries; that’s another point we need to rectify. There’s a whole staff behind this, and we will work on it.”
If his absence is confirmed, Lens will be even more weakened. The Belgian coach will already have to manage without M’Bala Nzola, Adrien Thomasson, Angelo Fulgini, and Facundo Medina, all suspended for this match. Additionally, Jhoanner Chavez, Rémy Labeau Lascary, and Martin Satriano are still in the infirmary.
With this increasing number of unavailability, Will Still will have to find solutions to hope for a positive result at the Vélodrome against an OM side in search of points.
