On January 12, Beijing time, the drums of the 17th round of Ligue 1 matches will be beating. Lens will face Le Havre on the road, and the transfer rumor of the team's key player, Khusanov, has become a big point of interest before the match.
Khusanov was absent from Lens training on Friday, to which manager William Steele revealed in a press conference, "He was indeed sick and so he was in the gym today with the rest of the players for recovery training. We are honest with each other and there are no lies. At the moment, transfer talks are ongoing and we are open-minded, but we will not be easily deceived."
Despite the negotiations, Khusanov is still our player," continued Steele. If there is a change, perhaps you will know about it before I do. He missed training and went home to rest, but only because of a serious illness. If he regains his health, he will be on the playing roster."
Steele appeared unconcerned about Khusanov's absence, confident that the player will recover quickly and energize the team. At the same time, he also said that the team has prepared for the possible departure of Husanov, and actively search for suitable candidates in the transfer market to ensure the competitiveness of the team.
Speaking about the upcoming match, Steele is confident: "Lens will give their best to win on the road. We need to be united and focused in our preparation for the challenge of opponents like Le Havre."
