Lens' Abdallah Sima sidelined with injury until late November

RC Lens forward Abdallah Sima will be unavailable for selection until at least the end of November due to a thigh injury sustained while on international duty with Senegal. Yannick Cahuzac, the club's manager, confirmed the news during a press conference. This absence comes during a busy period for Lens, who are balancing Ligue 1 and UEFA Champions League commitments. Despite the setback with Sima, there is potential for midfielder Yacine Titraoui and right-back Saud Abdulhamid to return for upcoming matches, including one against Olympique Lyonnais. The team will look to navigate a challenging schedule in his absence.
