Scores late equalizer
Thauvin scored one goal to go with eight shots (three on goal), 10 crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Thursday's 3-2 win versus Slavia Prague.
Analysis: Thauvin delivered one of his strongest attacking displays of the campaign, combining a season-high four chances created with eight shots before scoring his first Champions League goal of the season. The captain has now found the net three times across his last four appearances in all competitions and continues to carry a significant share of Lens' attacking responsibility through both his creativity and set-piece involvement.
Scores in 2-1 defeat
Thauvin scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), seven crosses (four accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Strasbourg.
Analysis: Thauvin scored the team's only goal in the match, which was his third in the league campaign in just two matches. Other than that, the 33-year-old created five chances. Thauvin produced seven crosses, and four of them were accurate.
Logs goal and assist
Thauvin scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and two chances created in Sunday's 4-0 victory versus Lyon.
Analysis: For the second and final time this season, Thauvin logged a goal and an assist. In terms of goal scoring, he returned to his once-prime form, finishing the season with over 10 goals (11 exactly) for the first time in Ligue 1 action since his 2018-19 campaign with Marseille. Post-2021, six marks his highest assist tally. Thauvin logged the 17 G/A on 73 shots (27 on goal), 79 chances created, 199 crosses (57 accurate) and 84 corners. He has established himself as one of Lens' top midfielders, providing a formidable attacking duo alongside a fellow CAM in Wesley Said.
No longer injured
Thauvin (undisclosed) was not on the injury list and is an option for Wednesday's match against PSG, the player told the media. "I'm 100% for tomorrow. I've been a little bothered by the adductor lately, but I was able to work well and come back in top shape to try to finish the last three games in the best possible way."
Analysis: Thauvin is going to return to play Wednesday after an absence from the club's last match, as the attacker is not among the list of injured players. This is major news for the club as they face the league champions, gaining back a regular attacker. He continues to be their most crucial player in the final third, recording 10 goals and five assists this season in 31 appearances.
Ruled out Friday
Thauvin (undisclosed) will miss Friday's clash against Nantes with the decision likely motivated by a desire to preserve him ahead of the upcoming clash against PSG and the Coupe de France final, according to coach Pierre Sage.
Analysis: Thauvin's absence against Nantes appears to be a precautionary measure rather than a serious injury concern, given the high-stakes fixtures on the horizon for Lens. Florian Sotoca and Abdallah Dipo Sima are expected to see increased minutes in his absence. No further details have been provided on the nature of the issue, though his availability for the PSG fixture and the cup final appears to be the priority for the coaching staff.
