A fracture rules Olivier Giroud out for 54 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason LOSC Lille will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Liverpool tell LOSC Lille: Dominik Szoboszlai is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

No deal for Désiré Doué at that price
LOSC Lille offered $22.9M; Paris Saint-Germain said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

LOSC Lille plan ahead with Julián Quiñones from Al-Qadisiyah
The most awkward business a club does is signing tomorrow's answer while today's is still in the building. Julián Quiñones comes from Al-Qadisiyah for exactly that purpose, and the handover will not be discussed publicly by anybody.

LOSC Lille sign Marius Courcoul, one for the future
Marius Courcoul is 19, and LOSC Lille have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

LOSC Lille promote Édouard Guillot from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Édouard Guillot has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

- Squad A row about effort at LOSC Lille
