Lille predicted XI v Aston Villa: Hakon Arnar Haraldsson on the bench | OneFootball

Several big names could be left on the bench when Lille OSC welcome Aston Villa to the Stade Pierre Mauroy in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday evening.

L’Équipe understands that Tiago Santos, Alexsandro, Nathan Ngoy, Ngal’ayel Mukau, and Hakon Arnar Haraldsson may all have to settle for places on the bench. It is Thomas Meunier who may get the nod at right-back, whilst Aissa Mandi and Chancel Mbemba may be preferred at the heart of the defence. 

It could be January signing Gaetan Perrin who starts in the No.10 position for Lille, ahead of Haraldsson. Up front, Matias Fernandez-Pardo could be aligned with Olivier Giroud, the only fit and recognised striker in the side for this evening’s game in Northern France.
