On the occasion of the press conference preceding the match against RC Lens, Antoine Kombouaré shared news regarding the state of health of his players. This Saturday, FC Nantes will travel to the Bollaert-Delelis stadium with the aim of securing a victory after their recent setback against Marseille.
Marked by this eleventh day, the Ligue 1 season will take a break due to the last international break in 2024. Antoine Kombouaré, in dialogue with the media, addressed the challenges and absences he will have to face for this match.
Three players will be missing for this meeting, but a notable return is expected. Johann Lepenant, already absent against Olympique de Marseille, will not be on the pitch, still recovering from a calf injury.
Kombouaré clarified: “Today, he started to trot and he is in the process of getting back into athletics. We're not going to take any risks and he can't play anyway. » The coach hopes to get him back after the international break.
Florent Mollet will return to the Nantes squad. Absent during the match against Marseille, Kombouaré declared: “In training, things are better. It's always his little problem, he had pain with each impact, he had difficulty on the supports. He had broken his fibula. »
On the defensive level, Fabien Centonze remains unavailable despite a recent resumption of training. Kombouaré confided: “He did his first training sessions with us. At the start of the week, he did special sessions but since yesterday, he has done 100%. »
Nathan Zézéalthough he was on the bench against Marseille, will not participate in the match against Lens. The young central defender is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards during FC Nantes' last meetings.
