Not in match squad
Sangare (knock) couldn't recover in time and won't be an option for Saturday's clash against Monaco, the club posted.
ANALYSIS
Sangare was in line to rejoin the squad for Saturday's showdown against Monaco after getting through a full week of training, but the midfielder is still not fully over the knock he picked up against Paris FC. That is a tough break for the Sang et Or, as he is a locked-in starter in the engine room and one of the pillars of their midfield structure. His absence forces a shake-up in the starting XI, with Amadou Haidara or Andrija Bulatovic now the leading candidates to step in against the Diagonale.

Expected to be fine after blow
Sangare left Saturday's 5-0 win over Paris FC with a knock, but manager Pierre Sage expects to have him back for the match against Monaco, stating that the player took a blow "to the iliac crest (pelvic bone). It's a pinched nerve that's quite painful. So, we'll see tomorrow how the pain is and we'll take it easy on him until the Monaco match. But I don't think it will jeopardize his participation in the next match.", Eloise De Mester of Lensois.com reports.
