RC Lens: Haise won’t risk Ganago
Franck Haise, coach of RC Lens, will have to change his starting squad againstAS Saint-Etienne, this Wednesday in the league. He will not be able to count on four players and not the least. Absent between Angers SCO (2-2), Sunday, Ignatius Ganago is still recovering from the muscle injury he sustained in training last Saturday. The Racing Club coach has confirmed the absence of the striker recruited from OGC Nice in last summer’s transfer window against the Greens. “It doesn’t sound too mean. It’s too short this week. I don’t have a rational explanation for his injuries. In Nice, he already had some muscle problems. He is very tonic, very flexible. These are never major alerts, but they are setbacks. There is not much, but you have to be vigilant to avoid a more serious injury, “he explained at a press conference.
Gaël Kakuta also unavailable against ASSE
RC Lens playmaker, Gael Kakuta also is not operational to face the Stéphanois. Suffering from pelvic pain, he will also be absent against the Red Star, in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, on Saturday March 6. “Gaël is not 100%. The recurring pain being stronger after the match in Angers. It is better to find it 100% rather than going into the wall “, explained Franck Haise. Added to these two major absences, that ofIssiaga Sylla. Absent in Angers, the left side defender of Lensois is doing better. However, he will not resume team training until after the game against Sainté, according to the club’s top-flight manager. The fourth absent from the Sang et Or is Cheick Doucouré. He is suspended for the movement of the RCL in the Forez.
