Football: late returns from selection, sick… Rodez waiting before his trip to Caen

Two weeks after his last championship match, Rodez will be back in action on Friday, at 8 p.m., in Caen. With the aim of extending its unbeaten streak to seven matches in Ligue 2 and turning the page on its surprise elimination for its entry into the Coupe de France, last Friday in Angoulême (N2). To do this, coach Didier Santini will have to, as is often the case after a truce, deal with the late returns of some of his protégés. On Wednesday, only Akim Abdallah (Comoros) was present at training, while Lionel Mpasi (DR Congo), Ahmad Ngouyamsa (Chad), Wilitty Younoussa (Cameroon) and Dany Jean (Haiti) were due to return between Wednesday evening and Thursday. Without the staff having any guarantee regarding their presence in Vabre for the match eve session.

Also note that several blood and gold who remained on the Piton were ill on Wednesday, including Ibrahima Baldé. Still nothing to stop them from holding their place in morning training. It now remains to be seen how the situation will evolve between now and Friday.
