Injuries & Availability





Impact Analysis
Nine players are listed as unavailable, all confirmed out, with none rated doubtful. The list is less severe than the headline number suggests, because only five absences are physical. J. Gradit and A. Sima are out with muscle injuries, M. Nawrocki has a knee injury, and J. Todibo and R. Aguilar are listed with unspecified injuries. M. Udol is unavailable through a red card, so his absence is disciplinary and not a fitness concern. J. Chavez is out by coach's decision, while M. Diarra and I. Jourdren are listed as off the roster. Those three reflect squad management and are unlikely to represent a loss of available quality.
The data does not specify playing positions, so it is not possible to say which area of the pitch is hit hardest, or to name direct replacements. What the numbers do show is that the genuine fitness list is concentrated in five players, and that no one is in a doubtful category. That gives a clear picture of who is unavailable, with no late fitness calls pending. Overall depth looks stretched but manageable, since four of the nine absences stem from decisions, roster changes or suspension and not from physical setbacks.
Recent Form





Form Analysis
Lens's last five matches show an inconsistent but mostly positive picture, with three wins and two defeats. The results alternate rather than build a clear trend, with wins over Estac Troyes, Lyon and Standard Liege separated by losses to Sporting CP and Monaco. Lens scored eight goals and conceded six, a goal difference of +2.
Going forward, Lens were at their best against Troyes, scoring three in a 3-1 away win. They also scored twice in a 2-1 home win over Lyon and in a 2-0 away win at Standard Liege. The attack was blanked once, in the 2-0 home loss to Sporting CP, and managed only a single goal in the 2-1 defeat at Monaco.
Defensively, Lens were less secure. They kept just one clean sheet, at Standard Liege, and conceded at least once in the other four matches, twice in each of the two defeats. Both losses came against Sporting CP and Monaco, while Lyon were beaten in a close contest. Lens won two of their three away matches but only one of two at home. That suggests they have been more reliable on the road than at home in this sample.
