Jonathan Gradit News: Will miss opener due to suspension

Gradit is set to be suspended for one game following poor behavior, the league announced in early June.

Gradit will miss the season opener against Lyon on Saturday after displaying poor behavior in the final game of last season against Monaco. The defender is a regular starter in the Lens backline and will be a key leader under new coach Pierre Sage, so his absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Samson Baidoo set to take on a larger role from the start with his new club.
