To challenge US Monnaie, R1 club from Indre-et-Loire, in the 8th round of the Coupe de France, FC Lorient coach Olivier Pantaloni has not decided to make many changes in his group. As he warned in a pre-match press conference: “I am in favor of fielding players likely to continue against Troyes in a week. Otherwise, it deprives them of rhythm, and when they come back 15 days after the last championship match, they have difficulty getting back into the game. »
No major upheavals in the group called for this Coupe de France meeting. But the presence, all the same, of several players used to playing with the reserve team: Genton, Yatera and Baldoni. Some executives were left to rest like Yvon Mvogo, Montassar Talbi. The good news is in attack with the return of the club's top scorer Eli Junior Kroupi (7 goals), injured in the thigh since the frustrating draw in Rodez (3-3).
