The new coach of AS Saint-Étienne Eirik Horneland will have to rack his brains to put together his first eleven to host Stade de Reims in the 16e Ligue 1 day (Saturday, 5 p.m.).
Eirik Horneland will be expected around the corner tomorrow for his big debut on the ASSE bench. Facing the Stade de Reims, at Geoffroy-Guichard (5 p.m.), the Greens would be well inspired to launch the mandate of the Norwegian coach with a finally convincing victory.
To do this, Horneland will have to play tight. Although he will inevitably say more at a press conference this afternoon (1:45 p.m.), the Greens coach will have to do without at least six players for this first meeting of 2025.
“Still deprived of Yvann Maçon, Ben Old, Ibrahima Wadji and Thomas Monconduit, the Norwegian technician must manage Mathis Amougou, in difficulty with his calf and uncertain,” slips Le Progrès this Friday. It will be recalled that Yunis Abdelhamid and Ibrahim Sissoko will be suspended for this match on the 16th day of Ligue 1, which further complicates Horneland's plans in the face of their first challenge from Saint-Etienne.
