Having started during RC Lens’ win over Toulouse FC in the Coupe de France in midweek, Samson Baidoo is now set to start his first Ligue 1 game since making his return from injury. Les Sang et Or will face Stade Brestois on Friday night. A win would take them back within one point of league leaders Paris Saint-Germain.
Pierre Sage does not have any fresh injury concerns to contend with when they make the trip to face Brest, who, with four games to go in the league season, have nothing to play for. Kyllian Antonio remains sidelined, as does Jonathan Gradit. Lens, however, still have plenty of options at their disposal.
On the left of the attack, it is Wesley Said who is expected to be given the nod ahead of Allan Saint-Maximin.
