Le Havre AC is preparing for a Ligue 1 match against LOSC Lille while managing significant squad shortages. The club has dealt with injuries to players including Lionel Mpasi, Timothée Pembélé, Amir Richardson, and Félix Mambimbi, alongside absences due to international duty.

While defender Stéphan Zagadou has returned to training, his availability for the upcoming fixture remains uncertain. Amidst these challenges, Algerian defender Ahmed Touba has been noted as a standout performer, leading Ligue 1 in interceptions.

As the match approaches, Lille enters the contest in fourth place in the standings, while Le Havre remains at the bottom of the table without a win this season. Both clubs face availability issues; Lille is expected to be without Ethan Mbappe and Hamza Igamane, while Le Havre will be missing Mambimbi, Mpasi, and Zagadou.
