The LOSC, undefeated in its last three games with its usual hinge, will be deprived of Bafodé Diakité for the reception of the Olympique de Marseille. This absence is a significant loss for Ludovic Obraniak, who praised the performance of his team despite the expulsion of Diakité during the match: “Lille, to return like this without Zhegrova or Tiago Santos, is frankly very strong”. The player, who drags his spleen into the entrails of the Raymond-Kopa Stadium, will probably miss the next two League 1 Dogues games against OM and Brest. A harmful absence in the title race according to Obraniak: “There’s something that goes a little unnoticed, but there’s Bafodé Diakité who will be absent for this match against OM. The complementarity between Alexsandro and Diakité is important, its absence is likely to defeat the cards.” However, Bruno Genesio does not share this view: “We found solutions despite the injuries at the beginning of the season. I have full confidence in my group, we win games at 22 or 23, not just with 11 players.”.
