Odsonne Edouard available, Robin Risser to start for Lens v PSG in Trophée des Champions | OneFootball

Odsonne Edouard is in the Lens squad to face his formative club Paris Saint-Germain in the Trophée des Champions on Sunday at 20:45. Robin Risser will start in goal.

According to L'Équipe, the 28-year-old had been a doubt after adductor discomfort in the 0-2 defeat to Sunderland last Saturday on a very dry Bollaert pitch. He trained apart through the week, then returned to full work on Saturday, hitting the required intensity without pain.

He could again lead the line with new captain Florian Thauvin and Abdallah Sima, as in the last two friendlies. Thorgan Hazard is suspended.

Croatia forward Franjo Ivanovic, officially loaned by Benfica on Wednesday, is also in Dino Toppmöller’s group.

Having brought forward his post-World Cup return to training, Risser has been back at La Gaillette for a week and will keep goal for the Artois club. Algeria midfielder Yacine Titraoui, who got his first minutes against Sunderland, should start on the bench. The Bulatovic-Cuisance pairing built rhythm during pre-season.
