RC Lens remain without several key players as they prepare to host SCO Angers on Friday night. A win would provisionally take them back top of Ligue 1, ahead of Paris Saint-Germain’s game against OGC Nice on Saturday night.

Lens have already missed the chance to overtake PSG when they were defeated by FC Lorient last weekend. PSG didn’t play their game against FC Nantes having succeeded in moving the fixture to April, a postponement designed to aid their preparations for the UCL game against Chelsea.

Les Sang et Or were without key players last week and that remains the case. Jonathan Gradit, Samson Baidoo, Kyllian Antonio, Wesley Said, Massasdio Haidara, and Arthur Masuaku are all out. There is, however, a return for Allan Saint-Maximin.
