Allan Saint-Maximin
LENOption to face PSG
Saint-Maximin (undisclosed) is an option for play after being left off the injured list, according to manager Pierre Sage.
Analysis: Saint-Maximin had to miss out on the club's last match as a precaution, but is now back and ready for action, with the attacker not amongst the injured players. This will give his club another viable option off the bench, potentially appearing later to give the attack a boost, recording three goals and three assists in nine appearances (two starts) this campaign.
Ruled out against Nantes
Saint-Maximin (undisclosed) has been ruled out of Friday's clash against Nantes as a precaution with the PSG fixture and Coupe de France final on the horizon, according to coach Pierre Sage.
Analysis: Saint-Maximin's omission is a purely precautionary measure rather than any significant injury concern, with Lens clearly prioritizing having him fully fit for the PSG clash next week and the upcoming cup final rather than risking him against the Canaries. Wesley Said is expected to take on a larger role in the front line until Saint-Maximin returns to full speed next week, with manager Sage keen to manage his star attacker carefully heading into what promises to be the biggest games of the club's season.
