Impact Jardim and the Lille back line have been absolutely brilliant of late holding third straight clean sheet and fifth in last six matches. The team though will be facing Chelsea midweek, who are the only team to score versus Lille during their stellar defensive run over the past month. The keeper has also racked up 19 saves over that period and has been one of the main factors behind that improved form.

The team though will be facing Chelsea midweek, who are the only team to score versus Lille during their stellar defensive run over the past month.

Hatem Ben Arfa - Quiet in scoreless draw Ben Arfa had one chance created, one foul drawn and one dribble in Friday's 0-0 draw to St. Etienne.

Impact Ben Arfa logged in his third straight start but has been very quiet throughout that period and seems to be screaming to return to the bench. The poor form of Burak Yilmaz is likely the only thing that keeps Ben Arfa with serious playing time but the two could start rotating soon.

Jonathan Bamba - Sends three crosses in scoreless draw Bamba had one shot (off target), three crosses (one accurate), two corners and four fouls drawn in Friday's 0-0 draw to St. Etienne.

Jonathan David - Quiet in scoreless draw David had one chance created, one foul drawn and 11 passes completed in Friday's 0-0 draw to St. Etienne.

Impact After finally returning to the score sheet last week David was very invisible here and remains with just one goal in 10 matches since the turn of the year. He's been fairly active of late though with 15 shots and six chances created over his previous five matches and could be back on a scoring run soon again.

Burak Yilmaz - Plays off bench versus St. Etienne Yilmaz played 29 minutes off the bench in Friday's 0-0 draw to St. Etienne.

Impact Yilmaz has now started just once in last seven matches and remains very limited off the bench. Hatem Ben Arfa hasn't been much better, so Yilmaz could get another run at the starting role very soon again but his upside will remain low for the time being.

Renato Sanches - Ruled out at least three weeks Sanches has been diagnosed with a lesion of the biceps femoris muscle of the left thigh and will miss at least three weeks, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Sanches' issue is a massive blow for Lille just days ahead of their crucial UCL second leg versus Chelsea. His timetable will see him out at least until the international break may be even more and Xeka should see plenty of playing time in his absence.

Benjamin Andre - Late scratch Friday Andre was a late scratch for Friday's match versus St. Etienne as he's dealing with an illness, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Andre was just back from suspension and will now have to miss his second straight outing. The midfielder though should be right back next week as he's only dealing with a regular cold and should be full go for the big UCL clash with Chelsea.

MARCH 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

With the quick turnaround ahead of Wednesday's UCL clash with Chelsea, Sanches could be in danger of missing out depending on the severity of his injury.
