Saud Abdulhamid
Suspended for two games
Abdulhamid is ineligible for the next two Ligue 1 matches due to the red card he received against Nice.
Analysis: Abdulhamid will now serve his ban in the upcoming meetings with Nantes and Paris Saint-Germain, so he may not play until the season finale at Lyon. This is a huge loss for Lens, as the full-back was quite productive in recent appearances, tallying two goals and four assists over his last eight club games. Ruben Aguilar is now expected to fill in for him for the length of the suspension.
Sent off against Nice
Abdulhamid received a red card during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Nice.
Analysis: Abdulhamid was punished for a foul he committed in the 81st minute of an otherwise decent performance. The wing-back will consequently be banned for at least the upcoming meeting against Nantes, leaving his side without a regular starter who has produced two goals and four assists over his last eight club games. Ruben Aguilar could be the main beneficiary in terms of playing time until the suspended player is cleared to return.
Scores on Friday
Abdulhamid scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), nine crosses (three accurate) and eight chances created in Friday's 3-2 victory over Toulouse.
Analysis: Abdulhamid scored the team's first goal in the match, which was his second in the league campaign. The 26-year-old scored with his only shot on goal. Abdulhamid provided nine crosses, and three were accurate.
