The Reims stadium is successfully completed its end of the season. While the Rémois were bogged down in the last places in the ranking, the arrival of Samba Diawara on the club’s bench, replacing Lucas Elsner, radically changed the season of Teddy Teuma teammates. The latter, who still fight for the maintenance, with only six points ahead of the 17th, Saint-Etienne, have experienced a positive dynamic in recent weeks.
Since the end of March, the Champénois have lost only one of their six championship games played, with in particular a big success against Olympique de Marseille (3-1), allowing it to extricate from the relegation zone. In addition to that, they qualified for the final of the French Cup, eliminating AS Cannes, a little thumb of the competition, during the semi-finals (2-1).
Big concern for the end of the season in Reims
Despite the good performances of the past few weeks, the Rémois failed to win against Montpellier (0-0), which remained on eleven consecutive setbacks before the meeting of this Sunday. Worse, Samba Diawara, who was furious after the match, could lose a primordial player for the end of the season.
Junya Ito, a Japanese winger who scored four goals and issued three assists in Ligue 1 this season, was out on injury, complaining about the left ankle. The former Genk player spoke on this injury in the mixed zone, as reported by the team:
“I heard like a Crac while backing. I preferred to ask to go out for precaution. I don’t know what I have, but it is probably not a simple sprain. We will know more after the exams.”
The loss of such a framework would be a real blow for the Stade de Reims, which could go down in Ligue 2 in three days if it goes on defeats, since the Rémois confront the OGC Nice and Lille, two teams which fight for a European qualification, as well as Saint-Etienne, which will give everything to maintain itself in the elite. The club hopes that the player will be back before the final of the French Cup.
To summarize
The Stade de Reims, which has experienced a real revival since Samba Diawara is on the bench, could lose Junya Ito, hit in the left ankle against Montpellier, until the end of the season. The club hopes that he will be able to play the final of the French Cup against PSG
