RC Lens have received encouraging news regarding injuries ahead of their Champions League opener against Slavia Prague. In Saturday’s unexpected loss to FC Lorient, two Lens players were forced to leave the match due to injuries. Yacine Titraoui sustained what appeared to be a significant muscle injury during the second-half and will likely miss time on the field.
The arrival of new signing Dino Toppmoller adds to the team's concerns, but Lens faced even greater worry about Matthieu Udol, who earlier in the game suffered his fourth ACL injury. Upon medical examination, fears of a full ACL injury were alleviated, according to L’Équipe. Despite having a "dead leg," Udol remains a doubt for the opener in Czechia, but the team's worst fears have not materialized.
