FC Lorient will be deprived of its captain Laurent Abergel (suspended), nor nine players who left for selection to face Ruffiac-Malestroit (R2) in the 7th round of the Coupe de France, Saturday November 16, 2024 (3:30 p.m.). Hit in the ankle, Mohamed Bamba will undoubtedly only be operational for the trip to Bastia on the next day of Ligue 2.
Junior Kroupi “is still in the hands of the prep. Next week too. “He will probably come back after Bastia,” Olivier Pantaloni said this Thursday, November 14, to the media.

On the other hand, it will be Stéphane Diarra's big return to the group. The latter had not appeared in the FC Lorient jersey in an official match since April 16, 2023. “We plan to have him play over a fairly short period of time. We are thinking of playing him with the reserve against Guingamp next week,” also added the FC Lorient coach.
Last season, during his loan to Saint-Etienne, the 25-year-old right midfielder injured his cruciate ligament (partial rupture) in mid-January 2024.
