This Saturday, Reims will host OL without its two starting central defenders. Luka Elsner will have to rethink his hinge.
We know that this is not a guarantee of a positive result for OL, but Reims will be diminished this Saturday when it welcomes its Rhone opponent. We already knew that the hinge would suffer from the suspension of Captain Emmanuel Abandonedplus Luka Elsner still hoped to be able to rely on his friend on the right, Joseph Sixth.
Many injuries in defense
It will ultimately be a negative answer. The Kenyan international returned injured from selection, and must forfeit this match on the 12th day of Ligue 1. He is not the only one, since four other players are unavailable and in the infirmary, Maxime Busi and Abdul Konefull-backs, as well as more offensive elements, Reda Khadra and Mohamed Daramy.
To reassure himself, the Reims coach will tell himself that midfielder Yaya Breathingan uncertain time, is well suited, at least in the group. The same goes for Aurelio Blindthe starting right back, who was called up. He will also count on Valentin AtanganaMarshall A troublemaker or even on the Japanese doublet Junya This -Keito Nakamura in attack.
