Lens predicted XI v Monaco: Malang Sarr to start against former side | OneFootball

Pierre Sage has a completely fit RC Lens squad at his disposal for the trip to face AS Monaco on Saturday night.

It is rare, in this age, for a manager to have a completely fit squad available, but that is the case for Sage this weekend. The former Olympique Lyonnais took the opportunity on Thursday to congratulate the medical staff for their work. They are therefore at full strength as they look to retain their high standing in Ligue 1. Lens currently sit in third place, two points ahead of fifth-placed Monaco.

Sage isn’t expected to spring any surprises with his selection. Odsonne Édouard is expected to once again lead the line, Florian Thauvin will start in the No.10 role, and Malang Sarr will start against the club that he once spent a season on loan from Chelsea.
