AS Saint-Étienne has just announced its squad for the Montpellier reception, this Saturday evening (7 p.m.) at the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium. As announced by Olivier Dall'Oglio at a press conference, there is a shortage of people in defense.
Hit in the knee after the match against Brest at the end of August (J3), after two months without competition, Yvann Maçon had returned to the field against Strasbourg (J10) then during the derby against Lyon (J11). Problem for the 26-year-old player, the knee on which he was operated on after Brest swelled during training, depriving him of the weekend's match against Montpellier as his coach explained at a press conference: “We have Yvann Maçon who is out, who has knee pain. I don't think it's very serious, around ten or fifteen days off. The knee which was operated on has swollen a little, we can't use it in this match.”
Another absence in defense, that of Mickaël Nadé. Victim of a knee sprain at the end of the match against Lyon, the robust central defender of the Greens will not be back before mid-December and will be missing for the next games of the Stéphanois. A hard blow for Olivier Dall'Oglio: “Mickaël Nadé suffered a knee sprain during the match in Lyon. There is no exact date for his return. It will take a few weeks, but he is already much better. He is walking normally but we are not We won't take any risks on the day of the match. It should take between three and four weeks to find him.”
Note that Thomas Monconduit et Anthony Briançon are still in the recovery phase, the former captain of the Greens is also expected at collective training at the start of next week. Finally, I'm Old will not return to the lawns before spring 2025.
In the returns department, the confirmed one ofIbrahim Wadjialready present in Lyon but above all Pierre Cornud who had not known a group since the heavy defeat of the Greens in Nice during J5 (8-0). The summer recruit strengthens a weakened defense which will also deal with Dennis Appiah. Masked in training, Appiah was indeed hit in the nose before the derby. If he had not worn a mask when he entered at the end of the match in Lyon, the 32-year-old wore one as a precaution this week in training. His participation in the match against Montpellier is not called into question.
Finally, back from suspension for an accumulation of yellow cards, Matthew Cafaro returns to Olivier Dall'Oglio's group. No problems to be noted among the internationals either: Amougou, Davitashvili, Stassin and Batubinsika are in the group.
The ASSE group to face the MHSC:
- Goalkeepers: Maubleu and Larsonneur
- Defensemen: Pétrot, Cornud, Abdelhamid, Batubinsika, Appiah
- Midfield: Bouchouari, Ekwah, Mouton, Moueffek, Tardieu, Amougou, Fomba
- Strikers: Stassin, Sissoko, Cafaro, Davitashvili, Boakye, Wadji
