Leaders Lyon will be without injured Juninho and Sidney Govou on Saturday for their trip to Monaco - where they have not won since 2001.

Brazil midfielder Juninho injured his thigh during Wednesday's training session and France winger Govou is suffering from a hamstring problem.

Second-placed Bordeaux, trailing Lyon by six points, will have to cope without midfielder Wendel when they take on Strasbourg on Sunday.

The Brazilian will be sidelined for two weeks with an ankle injury following a rough challenge by Anthony Reveillere in Lyon's 4-2 win against Bordeaux last Sunday.

Goalkeeper Gennaro Bracigliano believes third-placed Nancy, who travel to Sochaux on Saturday, still have their fate in their hands.

"Marseille's comeback is quite impressive but we're still ahead and everything depends on us," he said.

Marseille, three points adrift of Nancy, need to make amends for their UEFA Cup exit earlier this week when they visit struggling Lens on Sunday.

"It is clear that some players behaved like nabobs, viziers," club chairman Pape Diouf told reporters following Marseille's 2-0 defeat at Zenit St Petersburg. Marseille were eliminated on the away goal rule after winning 3-1 in the first leg.

Lens will welcome back strikers Loic Remy and Toifilou Maoulida as well as full back Nadir Belhadj against Marseille. The three players, who joined the club during January's transfer window, were not eligible for a rescheduled game against Lille on Tuesday. Lens lost 2-1.

Paris St Germain, who are fourth from bottom, will be without full back Bernard Mendy against visiting Valenciennes because of a thigh injury.
