France: Titraoui resumes his role, Boudache enters the field! (Video)

Ligue 1 returned this Friday after the international break, featuring a clash between RC Lens and Olympique Lyonnais. This match particularly captivated Algerian fans, as Yacine Titraoui made his return to the field. Injured in his hamstrings since September 5, the Lens midfielder finally returned to competition after 34 days on the sidelines.

Starting from the beginning, Titraoui played 53 minutes before being replaced by Amadou Haidara. Still lacking rhythm, the Algerian international showed glimpses of his potential in midfield. This injury had kept him out of the last gathering of the Greens, despite having started the first three league matches with Lens before this break.

On the other side, another Algerian also participated in the match: Kaïl Boudache. Starting on the bench, the young Lyon winger came on in the 71st minute, bringing his usual liveliness to the flank, but without making a decisive impact. During the break, he joined Rafik Saïfi's U23 team but only played about fifteen minutes in the first friendly match against South Africa, missing the second due to a virus.

Ultimately, it was Lens who triumphed 2-1, thanks to goals from Florian Sotoca and Matthieu Udol, while Khalis Merah pulled one back for Lyon. This defeat marks the first for OL in Ligue 1 this season, after five matches without a loss.
