Lille predicted XI v Reims: Jonathan David to start alongside Chuba Akpom in final game | OneFootball

Jonathan David is expected to start in what has already been confirmed will be his final match with Lille OSC. He will be hoping to give them a parting gift as a victory over Stade de Reims may suffice to give LOSC UEFA Champions League football for next season.

David is likely to start alongside Chuba Akpom in a 4-4-2. There are still some notable absences for Lille. Tiago Santos is still out, as are André Gomes and Edon Zhegrova. The latter has not played a single minute in 2025. He too is expected to leave Les Dogues in the summer transfer window. Ethan Mbappé and Nabil Bentaleb, the latter excused for personal reasons, are also out of this one.

Angel Gomes, who will also leave on a free transfer, will likely be on the bench once again.
