Lille predicted XI v Toulouse: Olivier Giroud to start from bench
Lille OSC will face Toulouse FC on Sunday afternoon, looking to reclaim their spot on the podium in Ligue 1.
Bruno Genesio is currently in mourning due to the recent passing of his father, however, he is nonetheless expected to be on the bench for the game at The Stadium in Toulouse. As he has done for much of the season, Genesio must contend with absentees in his forward line. Osame Sahraoui is out of this game, whilst Noah Edjouma also misses out for Lille. It means that the young Frenchman misses out on the chance to face his former club, whom he left during the winter transfer window.
Veteran striker Olivier Giroud, meanwhile, is not expected to start this afternoon, with Matias Fernandez-Pardo expected to play as a false No.9.
