Aissa Mandi Injury: Ruled out for opener

Mandi (groin) is ruled out for the season opener against Brest on Saturday, according to Le Petit Lillois.

Mandi suffered a groin injury in the last pre-season friendly and is ruled out for the season opener against Brest since he didn't recover in time. This is a big blow for the LOSC since Tiago Santos is expected to return next week and Thomas Meunier is suspended and injured too. Therefore, the young Ousmane Toure is expected to start on Saturday at right-back.
