Lille predicted XI v Nice: André Gomes out, Angel Gomes to start
Bruno Genesio is not blessed with options as his Lille OSC side prepare to take on OGC Nice on Sunday afternoon. He has a long list of absentees to contend with. Thomas Meunier, Tiago Santos, André Gomes, Hákon Arnar Haraldsson, Ethan Mbappé, Samuel Umtiti, and Nabil Bentaleb all miss out on this game. The latter two players do not yet have a return date defined.
It is not a situation that Genesio would like to be in, however, it does at least make his squad selection a little easier. There is a returnee in the back line as Mitchel Bakker is set to start at left-back. He was injured last month against AS Monaco. With few options in the midfield for Lille, Ayyoub Bouaddi will start alongside Benjamin André, with Angel Gomes playing in a more advanced role supporting Jonathan David.
