Tim Weah - Dealing with muscle issue Weah picked up a thigh injury last week and will miss a couple matches, at a minimum, reports AS.

Impact Weah is dealing with a muscle injury that kept him out over the weekend and will likely see him miss Wednesday's match, as well as the upcoming league contest. He's yet to score this season, but he's gotten a decent amount of time, starting eight matches in league play.

Burak Yilmaz - Picks up fifth yellow card Yilmaz took two off-target shots, created one chance, made two clearances and picked up a yellow card in Saturday's 2-1 win over Troyes.

Impact Yilmaz started and had a quiet outing, but also received his fifth yellow card in Ligue 1 play in the season. The forward is suspended for Sunday's clash against Lyon, but can play on Wednesday at Wolfsburg in UCL.

Benjamin Andre - Assists against Troyes Andre assisted one goal from two chances created, made two tackles (one won), five interceptions and one clearance in Saturday's 2-1 win over Troyes.

Impact Andre assisted Jonathan David's equalizer in the 48th minute, and they later completed the comeback for the home win. That was his first assist of the season, while he also led his side in interceptions. The midfielder will now look to keep things rolling at Wolfsburg on Wednesday.

Jonathan David - Scores as substitute David scored one goal from three shots and made two tackles (both won) in Saturday's 2-1 win over Troyes.

Impact David subbed on during halftime and scored the equalizer in the 48th minute to help them push for the comeback. The forward now has 13 goals in the season, and will look to get the nod when they visit Wolfsburg on Wednesday.

Xeka - Sends in three crosses in win Xeka created one chance, sent in three crosses (one accurate), made two tackles (both won) and picked up a yellow card in Saturday's 2-1 win over Troyes.

Impact Xeka had a good outing to help them earn three points at home, but also received his ninth yellow card of the season in the proccess. That's something to keep in mind when they visit Wolfsburg on Wednesday.

DECEMBER 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ivo Grbic - Makes two saves in win Grbic made two saves during Saturday's 2-1 win over Troyes.

Impact Grbic conceded early, but wasn't really tested after that and helped them earn the comeback win at home. The goalkeeper has just four clean sheets in 20 starts in the season, though. He will now look for another one when they visit Wolfsburg on Wednesday.

Tim Weah - Ruled out for Troyes match Weah has been ruled out for Saturday's match versus Troyes, L'Equipe reports.

Impact The reason for Weah's absence remained unclear and the hope is still there that he'll be able to return for next week's decisive UCL group finale as Lille will need all pieces for this one. Jonathan Ikone should take over the right wing in the former's absence.

Zeki Celik - Available for Troyes match Celik (suspension) is available for Saturday's match versus Troyes.

Impact Celik will return in the starting XI immediately but Lille have only kept one clean sheet over their past eight matches. The full-back has racked up four shots, five crosses, three fouls drawn and four interceptions over his past three outings alone.

DECEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Xeka - Scores first goal of season Xeka scored on his lone shot and added one chance created and two interceptions in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Rennes.

Impact Xeka broke the deadlock early in the game with his first score of the season. He's only had one shot on target over his past seven appearances but the goal could inspire him to look forward more often moving forward. The central midfielder does get occasional offensive bursts with crosses, shots and chances created but is mostly producing defensive peripheral stats.

DECEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Tim Weah - Assists in win over Rennes Weah tallied one assist, two shots (off target), three crosses (none accurate) and three aerials won in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Rennes.

Impact Weah was terrific here and posted a ton of threat versus the hosts. He set up the early opener with his first assist since early October and third on the season but is still looking for his first score of the campaign for Lille. The winger has been showing an effort for the goal though after taking 10 shots over his past five starts.

DECEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jonathan Bamba - Takes one shot versus Rennes Bamba had one shot (off target), three fouls drawn, two tackles (both won) and five dispossessions in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Rennes.

Impact Bamba was a bit quiet in this one but has been in a lot better form of late with one assist on six chances created and seven crosses along with three shots over his previous four starts alone.

DECEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Botman Sven - Wins five aerials in 2-1 victory Botman had one interception, one blocked shot, five aerials won and six clearances while playing the full 90 minutes in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Rennes.

Impact Despite missing a lot of time with his injury Botman already seems to be at full speed and turned in a terrific display immediately in his return while lasting the full 90 minutes. He should resume his starting role on regular basis but Lille have only held one clean sheet over the past eight matches.

DECEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Renato Sanches - Scores first goal of season Sanches scored on his lone shot and added two chances created and two dribbles in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Rennes.

Impact Sanches found the perfect timing to fire in his first goal of the season. He doubled his team's fragile lead versus the in-form hosts with a terrific screamer. The midfielder doesn't typically take many shots but he also has one assist over his past five starts on nine chances created and eight crosses.

DECEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jonathan David - Quiet in win over Rennes David had one aerial won, one foul drawn and three dispossessions in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Rennes.

Impact Lille played mostly on the back foot trying to protect their fragile lead and David saw very little of the ball here. That's now his second straight match without a goal but he's been unstoppable this campaign with six scores over his past eight affairs and 12 on the season across all competitions.

DECEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ivo Grbic - Allows goal in win over Rennes Grbic made one save in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Rennes.

Impact Grbic had a surprisingly quiet outing here versus the in-form Rennes but still couldn't hold the shutout and remains with just one clean sheet over his past eight affairs. The keeper has racked up 24 saves and nine goals allowed over the same period and has offered very little in fantasy formats lately.
