Lens predicted XI v PSG: Youthful midfield to face league leaders

The Africa Cup of Nations has caused a selection headache for Franck Haise in midfield, with Nampalys Mendy and Salis Abdul Samed both representing their nations at the tournament. 

The manager is without two of his more experienced heads in the centre of the field, and will likely turn to the youthful Neil El-Aynaoui and Andy Diouf during the ongoing tournament. Both players have featured in the first-team rotation and this will likely be an ideal opportunity for them to cement their positions further. 

Outside of the midfield axis, Lens can rely on their first choice option at almost every position. The only exception is the continued absence of Deiver Machado at wing-back who remains injured, to which Florian Sotoca will likely fill in.
