Since he has to do without Arouna Sangante and Oussama Targhalline, injured, but also Abdoulaye Touré and Yoann Salmier, suspended, Didier Digard could not do anything other than review his plans. And the Le Havre coach did not do it half-heartedly, with the presence of four very offensive players at the kick-off.
Soumaré returns
On the attacking front, André Ayew will team up with Issa Soumaré. Behind these two men, it is undoubtedly a four-headed midfielder who will position himself, with at the heart of the game, Daler Kuziaev, whose last start dates back two months ago, in Monaco, and Yassine Kechta. To the right of this duo, Josué Casimir, to the left, Emmanuel Sabbi.
Finally behind, no longer three, no longer five, but most certainly four defenders on the same line: Timothée Pembele, Étienne Youte, Gautier Lloris and Christopher Opéri.
The composition: Desmas – Pembele, Youte, Lloris, Opéri – Casimir, Kuziaev, Kechta, Sabbi – Soumaré, Ayew
