ASSE will play this weekend against RC Lens. The match is scheduled for 7 p.m. this Saturday at Geoffroy Guichard. For this 8th day of the season, the Greens intend to build on their current good momentum (four points in two matches). A hard blow still occurred this morning in training. Olivier Dall’Oglio will have to do without one of his strong men.
Tiring international truces
Returning from selection with New Zealand where he traveled a lot, Ben Old was planning to set foot on Geoffroy Guichard’s pitch this weekend.
Olivier Dall’Oglio spoke at a press conference about his player: “Ben Old? Yes, when we put him in the heart of the game as a midfielder, it was partly due to some squad issues. He is a versatile player, capable of playing in different positions, whether on the left, right, or elsewhere on the pitch. At a certain point, we felt the need to stabilize him in a specific position, either in the middle or in a more offensive role. a more offensive position, and I think we’re going to keep him in that position, because we need it, and he needs to develop in that role as well.”
Injured during ASSE’s training today
While the group should be made official around 8 p.m., the club has already communicated about Ben Old. The New Zealand international will not play tomorrow against the Bloods and Gold. In fact, the player was injured during today’s session. The exact nature of the injury is not yet known. The Saint-Etienne number 11 will undergo additional examinations at the start of next week to determine the severity of his injury.
A hard blow for the Saint-Etienne staff who have relied heavily on the player since the start of the season!
