LOSC Lille Métropole are likely to be without Ivorian striker Gervinho as they look to protect a 2-1 lead against Fenerbahçe SK in the away leg of their UEFA Europa League round of 32 tie on Thursday.
The 22-year-old limped off with a knee injury 38 minutes into his side's 2-1 win at Stade Rennais FC on Sunday and was not optimistic about his prospects of playing in Turkey. "We'll know more after I have scans," he said. "But it still hurts and I fear I won't be able to play for a while." The former KSK Beveren and Le Mans UC 72 player has scored five goals in seven games since the start of the UEFA Europa League group stage.
