Florian Thauvin
LENNo longer injured
Thauvin (undisclosed) was not on the injury list and is an option for Wednesday's match against PSG, the player told the media. "I'm 100% for tomorrow. I've been a little bothered by the adductor lately, but I was able to work well and come back in top shape to try to finish the last three games in the best possible way."
Analysis: Thauvin is going to return to play Wednesday after an absence from the club's last match, as the attacker is not among the list of injured players. This is major news for the club as they face the league champions, gaining back a regular attacker. He continues to be their most crucial player in the final third, recording 10 goals and five assists this season in 31 appearances.
Ruled out Friday
Thauvin (undisclosed) will miss Friday's clash against Nantes with the decision likely motivated by a desire to preserve him ahead of the upcoming clash against PSG and the Coupe de France final, according to coach Pierre Sage.
Analysis: Thauvin's absence against Nantes appears to be a precautionary measure rather than a serious injury concern, given the high-stakes fixtures on the horizon for Lens. Florian Sotoca and Abdallah Dipo Sima are expected to see increased minutes in his absence. No further details have been provided on the nature of the issue, though his availability for the PSG fixture and the cup final appears to be the priority for the coaching staff.
