RC Lens are without the likes of Ismaelo Ganiou and Franjo Ivanovic as they prepare to host Olympique de Marseille on Sunday night.

Les Sang et Or will look to bounce back from the midweek humiliation of a 9-1 defeat to Como 1907 on Wednesday. That defeat was the heaviest in the history of the UEFA Champions League and the heaviest home defeat in the competition’s history.

If Lens are to bounce back, they must do so without a recognised centre-forward. Due to the concussion protocol, Ivanovic is ruled out. He joins the two other recognised centre-forwards, Odsonne Édouard and Abdallah Sima, on the sidelines. Florian Thauvin may lead the line in their absence. In defence, Ganiou and Maik Nawrocki are also out.
