AS Saint-Étienne (ASSE) is preparing to face AJ Auxerre during the 19ᵉ Ligue 1 day, a meeting scheduled for Friday January 24, 2025 at 8:45 p.m. at the Stade de l'Abbé Deschamps. For this, here is the group chosen by the Staff Stéphanois who must deal with several important absences.
Sports context
- Current classification: Auxerre occupies 11ᵉ place with 22 points in 18 games, while ASSE is 16ᵉ with 17 points in 18 games.
- Recent form: Auxerre remains on a 2-0 draw defeat against the Angers SCO in Raymond Kopa, while ASSE was a 1-1 draw against Nantes at home.
The Auxerrois have not won since November 24, 2024 (1-0 victory against Angers). They are on a series of 7 games without victory with 3 draws and 4 defeats in all competitions.
ASSE absences
Eirik Horneland must still deal with a lessened workforce, the infirmary of the remaining well -occupied etrate, and the suspensions adding to the absences. DIY mode will still be activated for the Staff Stéphanois.
For the match against Auxerre, AS Saint-Etienne will have to do without several key players. Ibrahima Wadji, still embarrassed by physical relapses, remains unavailable. Ibrahim Sissoko, suspended, must further serve two games before finding the land. Thomas Monconduit, meanwhile, did not play a single minute this season and continues to recover from his summer injury.
In addition, Louis Mouton and Benjamin Bouchouari will also miss the meeting, both suspended after having received yellow cards. Finally, although Yvann Mason is in the recovery phase, he will not yet be ready to participate in the match.
-Aimen Moueffek and Anthony Briançon were also absent for the meeting against FC Nantes.
Sick last week, Pierre Ekwah is back. An appreciable return to the eyes of the absences of Bouchouari and Mouton, the other two holders of the midfielder.
