Lille predicted XI v Strasbourg: Hamza Igamane out, Hakon Arnar Haraldsson suspended | OneFootball

Lille OSC are in crisis mode heading into tonight’s game at RC Strasbourg Alsace, a game that they approach without several key players. 

Hakon Arnar Haraldsson misses this game through suspension. He has been one of, if not the main, creative force in this side this season, whilst another one of the key players behind the centre-forward, Osame Sahraoui, is also out. Lille are also without Hamza Igamane and will be until the end of the season after the centre-forward suffered an ACL injury during the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final against Senegal. 

It leaves Olivier Giroud as the only recognised centre-forward and he is expected to start and captain LOSC. There are many absences in midfield, too, with André Gomes, Benjamin André, and Nabil Bentaleb.
