ASSE: Oliver Dall'Oglio will have to tinker

After the injury to Mickaël Nadé, absent for a month, ASSE must find a replacement in central defense.

Since his performance against Nice in September, Mickaël Nadé has established himself in central defense for ASSE alongside Dylan Batubinsika, making six full starts. However, injured during the derby, Nadé will be out for around a month, missing at least three important matches.

In his absence, coach Olivier Dall'Oglio could relaunch Yunis Abdelhamid (37), a former executive dismissed in favor of Nadé, or Anthony Briançon (29), who is returning from injury and who gave satisfaction last season in League 2.

Other options include repositioning Léo Pétrot in central defense and using Pierre Cornud as a left-back, or even moving defensive midfielder Pierre Ekwah back down, although this is unlikely.
