Lille predicted XI v Aston Villa: Benjamin André out | OneFootball

Benjamin André will miss the return leg between Aston Villa and Lille OSC through injury, Bruno Genesio has confirmed. 

Genesio said that he had hoped that the blow that André sustained during the first-leg defeat in the UEFA Europa League was nothing serious. He had hoped to have his club captain back for this game, but he is absent. The Lille manager added that the injury is worse than first feared. No timeline has yet been provided for his return. 

Gaetan Perrin is also now contending with an injury, and he will miss this game. It means that Hakon Arnar Haraldsson is likely to start in the No.10 role. Ethan Mbappé also remains out, as do Hamza Igamane and Osame Sahraoui.
