Hello. Yes, you can apply for both at the same time. However, if you do not need a physical green card for work or travel purposes, you may file for your citizenship without a new green card. They will process if you have a copy.

File for a replacement card with Form I-90. You can still file for your naturalization, with evidence that you filed the I-90, but you should have you're a number or a photocopy of your green card.
