This Saturday (5 p.m., on beIN Sports 1), ASSE travels to the pitch at Stade Rennais and while we were expecting good news regarding the injured, Olivier Dall'Oglio dampened the ambient optimism.
If the start of the week had been marked by the seal of optimism with rumors surrounding a more rapid return of Mickaël Nadé as well as the possible presence of Yvann Maçon in Rennes, Olivier Dall'Oglio did not give that good news during his traditional press conference 48 hours before the match. Not only do the two men remain in the infirmary… But they are joined by Augustine Boakye.
“Augustine Boakye felt pain at the start and will not play this match. We still have a problem with Yvann Maçon's knee. Otherwise, the feedback from Anthony Briançon and Thomas Monconduit is encouraging. Even if it will be progressive for them! For Mickaël Nadé, it is encouraging, he has resumed the race. Ben Old put his foot on the ground with the crutches,” said the Gardois. There will therefore be at least six absent from ASSE at Roazhon Park this Saturday: Ben Old, Anthony Briançon, Thomas Monconduit, Yvann Maçon, Mickaël Nadé and Augustine Boakye.
“The removal of Abdelhamid’s armband? It was to unload him”
Despite everything, “ODO” is ready for the battle of Ille-et-Vilaine: “We expect Rennes to attack us straight away. We know Jorge Sampaoli, people will come to see the grinta, the intensity. We will have to be resistant, but also technically solid to be able to keep the ball. (…) We must take a step forward.”
There was also talk of the withdrawal of the armband from Yunis Abdelhamid against Montpellier. A choice that Dall'Oglio justifies: “It was to relieve him, even if I know that he is important in speaking within the team. I prefer that he concentrates on himself (…) He feels better, he is reassured.”
