Ismaëlo Ganiou still a doubt for Monaco-Lens with hip issue

Ismaëlo Ganiou arrives with hip trouble and, as L'Équipe reports, he is still not certain to hold his spot at Monaco. The centre-back for Lens “has a small uncertainty” ahead of the match due to the injury concern.

The doubt for matchday 5

The situation is for Friday evening (20:45), in a Ligue 1 fixture that is part of the fifth round of the league. L'Équipe specifically links his availability to how the hip feels as the game approaches.

What it means for Lens

Whether Ganiou makes it or not directly affects Lens’ defensive planning. If he cannot go, Lens will have to reshape their back line and cover the minutes accordingly against Monaco.

For now, the key is his daily evolution and the final call close to kick-off, exactly the uncertainty that L'Équipe highlights.
