Adam Ounas back with Lille against OL, José Fonte very uncertain

Injured in a thigh during the match against Troyes, almost two months ago (5-1, January 15), Lille winger Adam Ounas will return to the squad this Friday against OL (9 p.m. ). “He did all the training this week”rejoiced this Thursday his trainer, Paulo Fonseca.

It’s good news for the Portuguese coach but it’s almost the only one, amid an accumulation of defensive problems. To the absences for several matches of the titular side Ismaily and Bafode Diakité was added on Saturday at Bollaert that of the central defender Tiago Djalo, victim of a rupture of the cruciate ligaments. “It’s a big problem for the team and for him, laments Fonseca. Tiago was in a great moment, he was playing very well this season. He must think only of recovering. »

To make matters worse, his usual hinge partner and captain José Fonte is uncertain: “We also have a problem with José, who is injured in the adductors. I don’t know if he can play.”, explained his trainer. There are therefore only three valid defenders left (Yoro, Alexsandro and Gudmundsson), while Tim Weah is already helping out as a side.
