Lille duo sit out United decider

LOSC Lille Métropole have confirmed that two of their leading midfield players, Mathieu Bodmer and Yohan Cabaye, will not travel to Manchester United FC.

LOSC Lille Métropole have confirmed that two of their leading midfield players, Mathieu Bodmer and Yohan Cabaye, will not travel to England for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League first knockout round tie against Manchester United FC.

Weekend win
The 24-year-old Bodmer has suffered a recurrence of the ankle sprain sustained early last month which threatened to rule him out of the clubs' first meeting - a 1-0 victory for United in Lens. Cabaye, 21, has a stomach strain and did not feature as Lille defeated ES Troyes Aube Champagne 4-0 on Saturday.
