The war of goals will not take place!

Léo Jardim will be in the Lille goal this Friday against Metz for the 25th day of Ligue 1. In any case, this was confirmed lip service by Jocelyn Gourvennec this Thursday at a press conference.

Established last weekend against Montpellier (0-1) because of the mistakes made by Ivo Grbic against PSG (1-5), the Losc coach decided to trust the 26-year-old goalkeeper: “Léo answered present in Montpellier in a growing stadium, against a solid and committed team.

We will be in a form of continuity ”.

Absent for four months due to injury

The Brazilian had started the season as a starter in the Champions Trophy (1-0 victory against PSG) before injuring his neck.

Back in the squad at the end of January, Jardim took little time to settle back into goal, taking advantage of Grbic's poor form.

“Leo has been absent for four months.

Even if it is a sensitive position, there is inevitably less turnover.

It is important to regain stability.

It's all about having a good mindset.

It has to be quite fluid.

You have to be cash with the players.

The most important thing is to show your character, ”says Jocelyn Gourvennec.

It remains to be seen whether Jardim will start on Tuesday in the Champions League against Chelsea.

Added in extremis to the list of qualified players, the goalkeeper could well play the most important match of his career.

His performance on Friday against Metz will tell if the goalkeeper is ready for this big shock.
