Three hard blows in store for ASSE

After a great victory against Reims (3-1), ASSE is preparing to go to the Parc des Princes. A complicated trip for ASSE, especially since several Stéphanois are about to be suspended.

4 Stéphanois on reprieve – ASSE

This meeting promises to be delicate in more than one way. In addition to the quality of the opponent, the Greens' difficulties far from the Loire are well known with only one point taken far from the Cauldron. Furthermore, several ASSE players will remain under threat of suspension. No less than three players are on probation. A situation which could complicate ASSE's task for the coming weeks, particularly in Auxerre.

Benjamin Bouchouari, hub of the ASSE midfield, is the first concerned. Under threat, he will have to avoid any yellow card during the next four matches to avoid being suspended. Lucas Stassin will also be monitored since he has three games remaining under suspension. Finally, Louis Mouton will also be removed from the pitch for a match if he receives a yellow card against Paris or Nantes. Finally, Léo Pétrot will also be suspended for the next two matches.

Mathis Amougou should return to the group for the trip to the Parc des Princes this Sunday.
