Thursday 14th November 2024 11:42 AM

Guingamp will enter the Coupe de France on Saturday November 16, 2024 (6:30 p.m.) in Lisieux, against the amateurs of Serquigny-Nassandres (R2) without several major players in the squad.

Out injured in the derby against Lorient (1-3), Pierre Lemonnier suffers from a grade 1 hamstring injury. Arrested for a fortnight, the central defender is logically out. In the same position, Donatien Gomis, returning from a thigh injury, has resumed jogging and training individually.

Scorer Jacques Siwe spared

Author of five goals in Ligue 2 since the start of the season, Jacques Siwe did not train with the group this Thursday morning. Spared, he will not play Saturday. Alpha Sissoko and Taylor Luvambo suffer adductor injuries. Left to rest this Thursday, the right side and the attacker are out.

Winger Rayan Ghrieb, whose entry into Moustoir had been interesting, did not show up at the training center this week, for personal reasons. His coach will not be able to count on him this weekend.

Midfielder Kalidou Sidibé is suspended, after receiving a 3^e yellow card in less than ten matches, against Grenoble. Finally, goalkeeper Babacar Niasse will not be able to honor his first start of the season, he is in selection with Mauritania.

Guendouz or Junior Mendes holders?

Players like Abdallah Ndour, Rayan Touzghar, Sabri Guendouz and Junior Mendes, even the 3^e goalkeeper Teddy Bartouche-Selbonne, could thus gain playing time on Saturday.

In terms of good news, Brighton striker Labeau, absent during the last match due to muscle pain in his thigh, returned to the group on Wednesday.

Finally, note that to have twenty field players available during training this Thursday, the Lorient staff called on members of the reserve: central defenders Albin Demouchy and Eden Gassama, attacker Samuel Noireau-Dauriat (author of a hat-trick against Stade Rennais in N3 recently), and full-back Hugo Dupont took part in the professional session.
