Romain Perraud
LOSC
Starts friendly against HSV
Perraud (knock) is in the starting squad for Saturday's friendly against Hamburger SV, the club posted.
Analysis: Perraud had missed the earlier practice match against OH Leuven with a knock, a setback that raised some concern given his standing as the team's top left back option. His return to the starting lineup confirms that issue was not serious, positioning him to build on last season's productive campaign, in which he contributed three goals and four assists across 40 league and European appearances.
Misses friendly due to blow
Perraud didn't play in Saturday's practice match against OH Leuven after sustaining a knock, per Le Petit Lillois.
Analysis: Perraud should be the team's top left-back option, but there's a chance this issue will force him to sit out more games. Such event would allow Calvin Verdonk to get some rare starts. While his availability is uncertain, Perraud will hope this issue is not a major injury and doesn't sideline him for long. He's coming off a productive campaign in which he contributed three goals and four assists across 40 league or European appearances, with set-piece deliveries adding a significant boost to his defensive tasks.
Sets up opener
Perraud assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), nine crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Le Havre.
Analysis: Perraud set up the opener to deliver his fourth league assist of the season and his first of the year. The left back has been increasingly offensive in recent games, registering eight shots, seven chances created and 21 crosses across his last four appearances.
Swings in seven crosses

Analysis: Perraud's seven crosses (one accurate) led the Lille attack Saturday as they played to a 0-0 draw versus Nice.
