Back available for Monaco clash
Bentaleb (illness) has been cleared and is available for Sunday's clash against Monaco, according to coach Bruno Genesio.
Analysis: Bentaleb had been working his way back through team training after missing three consecutive fixtures following a minor surgical procedure for an infection, and his full clearance is a welcome boost for Lille heading into the weekend. The experienced midfielder figures to ease back in from the bench rather than jumping straight into the starting lineup given the time he has been out, but his availability gives coach Bruno Genesio a useful depth option in the middle of the park against Monaco.
Should be back Sunday
Bentaleb (illness) resumed team training this week and should be an option for Sunday's clash against Monaco, according to Le Petit Lillois.
Analysis: Bentaleb had been sidelined after undergoing a minor surgical procedure for an infection, missing three consecutive fixtures in the process. His return to collective sessions is a welcome development for Lille heading into the weekend, with Ayyoub Bouaddi having stepped into the starting role during his absence. Bentaleb figures to ease back in from the bench rather than jumping straight into the XI, but his availability gives coach Bruno Genesio a useful midfield option to call upon against Monaco.
