Samson Baidoo and Ruben Aguilar out of Lens-Lille derby, Wesley Saïd returns | OneFootball

Lens will again be without Samson Baidoo and Ruben Aguilar for Saturday's derby at Lille, while Wesley Saïd returns.

According to L'Équipe, the 22-year-old Austria international centre-back missed 10 matches with a hamstring injury then a relapse and had been in line to feature. Coach Pierre Sage said on Friday that both players' return timelines have lengthened, confirming the pair are out.

Left-back Arthur Masuaku will also be absent after accepting an invitation to a presidential reception following DR Congo's World Cup qualification. The same applies to LOSC's Chancel Mbemba. Ngal'ayel Mukau will be available.

Wesley Saïd has recovered from a hamstring issue and is back in the squad. Amadou Haidara also returns after being rested for the 5-1 win over Angers before the international break.

Régis Gurtner, Jonathan Gradit and Kyllian Antonio remain sidelined with hamstring, tibia-fibula and foot problems respectively.
