There will be a reunion for at least one former Lille OSC player on Wednesday night when the Ligue 1 side host Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League.

Victor Osimhen previously played for LOSC and will now face his former club. He will lead the line for the Turkish giants. Rafael Leao will not be reunited with Les Dogues this evening, however. The Portugal international has sustained a groin strain and is therefore an absentee.

There are a couple of familiar faces to French football fans in the line-up, with Mario Lemina, formerly of OGC Nice, FC Lorient, and Olympique de Marseille, starting in the midfield. Former AS Monaco defender Ismail Jacobs, meanwhile, is expected to start at left-back this evening, with former Stade Rennais midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu, former Paris Saint-Germain El Chadaille Bitshiabu, and former Monaco defender Wilfried Singo all on the bench.
