RC Lens Receive Passionate Support from Fans During Open Training Session
RC Lens’ promotion hopes in Ligue 2 continue to be backed by unwavering support from their loyal fanbase. On Monday, head coach Antoine Kombouaré and his squad were greeted by a large and enthusiastic crowd at their training session held at La Gaillette.
Despite the early hour, between 500 and 600 fans turned up to support their team, a testament to the strong bond between the club and its supporters. Among those in attendance were children with autograph books in hand, and several buses branded by the French Football Federation (FFF) brought in groups eager to see their heroes up close.
The mood at the session was upbeat, with clear skies providing the perfect backdrop for a spirited display of unity. While the fans showed their encouragement from the sidelines, the players focused on their preparations as RC Lens remain firmly in the race for promotion to Ligue 1.
On the sporting front, striker Yoann Touzghar was notably absent from training. However, Alphonse Areola, Marcel Tisserand, and Alharbi El Jadeyaoui were seen participating in light running exercises, indicating a phased return to full fitness.
Coach Kombouaré will be hoping the energy from the stands translates into results on the pitch as the business end of the season approaches. The display of support highlights how crucial the club remains to the local community in the Artois region.
