Despite coming off injured over the weekend, Matthieu Udol could start for RC Lens as they prepare to get their UEFA Champions League campaign underway with a visit to Slavia Prague.
The Frenchman came off during Saturday’s 1-0 loss to FC Lorient. There was significant fear over the defender’s health, with the broadcast showing his knee being assessed. Udol has already suffered four ACL injuries in his career. However, the news proved reassuring and there is a chance that he features tonight in the UCL. Michal Skoras is another option at wing-back.

Yacine Titraoui is, however, out. He was also forced off over the weekend. He has suffered a muscular injury. Saud Abdulhamid has also not made the trip to Czechia, unlike Jean-Clair Todibo, who could make his debut for Les Sang et Or this evening.
