RC Lens prepares for match against AS Monaco with potential lineup changes

Summary

RC Lens faces AS Monaco on Friday night in Ligue 1, marking the first game under interim manager Yannick Cahuzac after the dismissal of Dino Toppmoller. Cahuzac, previously an assistant, assumes control following a disappointing start to the season. Key injuries leave Lens' defense with limited options, prompting the potential inclusion of West Ham United loanee Jean-Clair Todibo in the starting lineup. Jonathan Gradit, returning from injury, is also expected to play. Lens has struggled early in the season and seeks to turn results around against a competitive Monaco side.
