After a difficult start to the season, Lille OSC’s Jonathan David (23) has hit form since the most recent international break, scoring in back-to-back Ligue 1 games ahead of Sunday’s match against Clermont Foot.
David surprisingly remained at Lille over the summer, despite incessant links with a departure, however, the Canadian forward has struggled for form for much of the season. As a result, he has seen his place in the starting XI challenged by Yusuf Yazici. The Turkish had regularly started ahead of David prior to the latter’s return to form.
David will once again lead the line against Clermont. Paulo Fonseca isn’t blessed with a wealth of other options with Ivan Cavaleiro injured and Adam Ounas out of the match through illness. Angel Gomes will therefore likely start as a No.10 with Rémy Cabella on the left and Edon Zhegrova on the right.
Lille likely lineup v Clermont
Lucas Chevalier; Ismaily, Alexsandro, Leny Yoro, Tiago Santos; Nabil Bentaleb, Benjamin André; Rémy Cabella, Angel Gomes, Edon Zhegrova; Jonathan David. (L’Éq)
