RC Lens is set to face Slavia Prague in their UEFA Champions League opener, with Matthieu Udol expected to start in defense despite previously suffering a knee injury this weekend. Udol, who has endured four ACL injuries in his career, was assessed following his exit from the match against FC Lorient and there are hopes he could feature in the upcoming game.
