Lens prepares for Lyon match with Thorgan Hazard's status uncertain

Summary

RC Lens is set to face Olympique Lyonnais at the Stade Bollaert on Friday night, with manager Yannick Cahuzac considering omitting Thorgan Hazard from the matchday squad. This decision follows Cahuzac's debut match, which ended in a narrow defeat against AS Monaco shortly before the international break. Hazard's potential absence is not due to injury, while teammates Maik Nawrocki and Abdallah Sima are confirmed out with injuries. Yacine Titraoui is expected to return and start against Lyon as Lens looks to regroup in Ligue 1.
