Wahi on the Lensois bench for the derby, Haraldsson starting with Lille

The starting lineups are known before the Northern derby between Losc and Lens, this Friday, in Pierre-Mauroy.

Surprises for Franck Haise. Elye Wahi will start on the bench in Lille this Friday (9 p.m., live commentary), during the first match of the 27th day of Ligue 1. It is Wesley Saïd who will lead the Lens attack for this Northern derby. Jhoanner Chávez and Salis Abdul Samed also join the Sang et Or 11, with Massadio Haidara and Nampalys Mendy on the bench. Remember that the French vice-champions must do without Jonathan Gradit, Abdukodir Khusanov and Deiver Machado to face their neighbors Lille, a clash between fourth and sixth in the Ligue 1 standings. A small point separates the two teams before this derby which promises to be hot.

For Lille, Remy Cabella is a substitute. Paulo Fonseca notably lines up Hakon Arnar Haraldsson. The Dogues coach obviously relies on Jonathan David, second top scorer in L1 (15 goals).
