Lille predicted XI v Juventus: Bruno Genesio contending with injury crisis ahead of key Champions League tie

Lille OSC’s squad has been blighted by injuries all season. The situation hasn’t improved as they prepare to take on Juventus in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.

There are multiple key absentees for Lille. Tiago Santos is out and will be until the end of the season, Thomas Meunier, Ismaily and Samuel Umtiti are all also out and further limit Genesio’s options at the back. In midfield, LOSC will be without Nabil Bentaleb, Remy Cabella, Ethan Mbappé, Hákon Arnar Haraldsson, and Andre Gomes most notably. The latter is ineligible to feature in this phase of the Champions League having arrived after the squad submission deadline.

It means that the team largely picks itself with key players such as Jonathan David, Angel Gomes, and Edon Zhegrova all set to start for Lille against Juventus.
