Lens

Eight players are unavailable, all confirmed out, with no doubtful cases. Only four of those absences are physical injuries: J. Gradit and A. Sima have muscle injuries, while M. Nawrocki and I. Ganiou are out with knee injuries. The other four are not fitness-related. M. Udol is unavailable because of a red card, J. Chavez is out by coach's decision, and M. Diarra and I. Jourdren are listed as off the roster.

The data does not specify positions, so it is not possible to say which area of the pitch is hit hardest. The even split of two muscle and two knee problems does suggest the medical load is spread across the squad rather than tied to one issue. Udol's red card is a one-off disciplinary absence rather than a fitness concern. Chavez's status points to a selection choice rather than a lack of availability.

Without information on minutes played, starting roles or squad composition, the importance of each player and the quality of available replacements cannot be judged. Even so, losing eight players is a substantial reduction in selection options. Squad depth will be tested, but the true extent depends on how many of these players were regular contributors.
