Lens predicted XI v Strasbourg: Ruben Aguilar joins list of absentees | OneFootball

Ahead of last weekend’s 3-2 defeat to AS Monaco, RC Lens were already light in the defensive sector. Their problems have deepened this week as they prepare to travel to face RC Strasbourg Alsace on Friday night. 

Kyllian Antonio, Jonathan Gradit and Samson Baidoo all missed last week’s game with injury. None of them are fit to return to face Strasbourg and in addition to that, Ruben Aguilar will also miss the game. He came off the bench against Monaco but was injured within 12 minutes. Lens manager Pierre Sage has confirmed that he will miss between two and three weeks of action.

However, there is a boost in the form of the return of Wesley Said, who was forced to withdraw at the last minute last week. It means that Allan Saint-Maximin will drop back to the bench.
