After its defeat at the Parc des Princes against Paris Saint-Germain (2-1), AS Saint-Étienne is preparing to host FC Nantes on Sunday afternoon (3 p.m.), at the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium.
However, this is not the next match for Nantes who are still in the running in the Coupe de France and face Mahdi Camara's Stade Brestois this Wednesday at the Francis-Le Blé stadium. However, after its draw against Monaco last week, FC Nantes suffered a hard blow. In the 70th minute, the defender Nathan Zeze had to give up his place, injured in the ankle.
If at first glance, his injury should not be too serious, Black ultimately suffers from a fracture of the malleolus as mentioned by our colleagues from West France. At a press conference this Monday, before the match against Brest, Antoine Kombouare accused the blow: “It's the big tile. He suffers from a serious sprain of his right ankle. He is going to take exams but it takes at least six weeks.”
And for good reason, Nathan Zezeaged only 19, was part of the executives of this Nantes team. In 17 days of Ligue 1, he appeared 12 times, each time as a starter. He was even a scorer when the Canaries entered the Coupe de France against Drancy (0-4). FC Nantes therefore needs more than ever to recruit in defense as its coach confides: “Recruiting a defender was already part of the needs. We look at a defender, a midfielder and in front, three or even four players, one per line.”
-The timing appears just before the next day of Ligue 1 against AS Saint-Étienne (Sunday at 3 p.m.), where the FCN will therefore have to do without Nathan Zeze.
