Why Renato Sanches (Lille) entered as a striker in Nantes

Back as holder in Bordeaux, Wednesday (3-0), after almost three months of absence from the starting XI due to various muscle glitches, Renato Sanches was again on the bench at kick-off, Sunday in Nantes ( 2-0). Christophe Galtier did not take the risk of establishing his Portuguese particle accelerator twice in five days, which can be as brilliant as it is fragile. The technician surely also had in mind the fact that the only time he had aligned Burak Yilmaz from the start twice in a row, in January, the latter was injured almost in stride and has been absent since (calf).
