Much of the goal-scoring responsibility will be on Jonathan David. The 22-year-old Lille forward is a star in the making and has been in magnificent touch this season.
He has already scored 9 goals and 2 assists in 11 matches for Lille in the Ligue 1 this season so far.

#4 Jonathan Osorio
The Toronto FC midfielder Jonathan Osorio is currently out due to an abdominal injury. He is expected to return in early November and jet off to Qatar.
Osorio is a crucial player for the MLS club and has scored 9 goals and 4 assists in 23 matches. He could play a major part for Canada in the World Cup 2022.
