Saud Abdulhamid still out for Lens v Lorient, Jean-Clair Todibo short, Jonathan Gradit could return | OneFootball

Saud Abdulhamid will miss Lens v Lorient on Saturday, while Jonathan Gradit could return to the squad. New signing Jean-Clair Todibo is not certain to feature as he builds fitness.

According to L'Équipe, the right wing-back is still struggling with oedema from a dead leg. The Ligue 1 fixture kicks off at 17.15.

Lens have already been hit by a serious injury to Maik Nawrocki. Gradit played for the reserves without pain last weekend, his first outing since a tibia-fibula fracture in late November.

Todibo, on loan from West Ham for the season, needs time to regain rhythm in training. The idea is for him to make his debut in Prague against Slavia Prague on Thursday at 21.00 in the Champions League.

Goalkeeper Robin Risser was rested this week after a knock and should keep his place against Lorient.
