Benjamin Andre - Available for Brest match Andre (suspension) is available for Saturday's match versus Brest.

Impact Andre is right back after purging his suspension midweek. He's been an offensive force of late with one goal on four shots and one assist on three chances created over his past four full matches and remains a great defensive contributor as well with 20 tackles, 13 interceptions and nine fouls drawn over the last six affairs.

Tim Weah - Could feature versus Lorient Weah (quad) was named in the 20-man squad for Wednesday's match versus Lorient.

Impact Weah has been sidelined since early November and given he's missed more than a month now the winger will likely be eased off the bench in his return which will keep his upside fairly limited.

Reinildo Mandava - Fills stat sheet in draw Mandawa made three tackles (one won), seven clearances, four interceptions and two blocks during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Marseille.

Impact Mandawa had another great defensive performance, filling the stat sheet and being a huge reason why his side conceded just one goal despite playing for about an hour with one man down. The left back has been one of the Ligue 1's best at his position this season and will try to remain productive during Wednesday's home match against Lorient.

Benjamin Andre - Gets sent off versus Marseille Andre was sent off during the first half of Sunday's 1-1 draw against Marseille.

Impact Andre picked up his second yellow card in just 32 minutes, which led his side to play with one man down for about an hour. The midfielder will be suspended for Wednesday's clash against Lorient.

Ivo Grbic - Makes five saves in draw Grbic made five saves and conceded one goal during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Marseille.

Impact Grbic had his hands full here, specially because his side had to play with 10 men for about an hour. The goalkeeper still looked on his way to a clean sheet, but then Cengiz Under ruined his plans with a stunning curly shot from just inside the box in the 75th minute. Grbic is having nice performances this season, but the recent lack of clean sheets diminishes his fantasy upside. Up next for him is Wednesday's home match against Lorient.

Renato Sanches - Provides assist in draw Sanches made an assist, had one off-target shot, created two chances and sent in two crosses (both accurate) during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Marseille.

Impact Sanches took the corner kick that was headed home by Sven Botman in the 15th minute and would've been credited with another assist if it the wasn't the miracle save made by the opposing goalkeeper to deny Burak Yilmaz header from the six-yard box. The midfielder couldn't keep the strong play though, mostly because his side had to play with one man down for about an hour. Up next for Sanches is Wednesday's home match against Lorient.

Botman Sven - Scores, shines defensively in draw Botman scored a goal off his lone shot and made 12 clearances and three blocks during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Marseille.

Impact Botman displayed once again his aerial prowess, scoring the opening goal of the match with a powerful header off a corner kick in the 15th minute and then racking up a season-high 12 clearances to help his side escaping with at least one point despite playing the entire second half with one man down. Botman shows every game why he's considered one of Europe's best young centre backs and he'll try to keep it up during Wednesday's home match against Lorient.

Edon Zhegrova - Transfers to Lille Zhegrova has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with Lille after transferring from FC Basel, the club announced Friday.

Impact Zhegrova had four goals and six assists in 15 appearances in all competitions for Swiss side Basel this season, and the 22-year-old now moves to France with defending Ligue 1 champions Lille. He can play on either wing, and should get plenty of opportunities as a part of this young forward line at his new club.
