The Aiglons closed their streak of five matches in two weeks against PSG (1-1) before the international break. A match during which Youssouf Ndayishimiye was injured in the ischios and Ali Abdi, scorer, injured in the ankle. Both players are doubtful for Sunday. Like Mohamed Ali Cho. Franck Haise did not wish to go into details concerning his attacker. Concerning the Burundian, the coach explains that “the thigh is fine but he felt some back pain.“
Uncertainties which are added to the packages already recorded. Melvin Bard (knee), Terem Moffi (knee), Sanson (foot) and Tanguy Ndombele (hip) will miss the trip to Beaujoire. “Tanguy felt his injury again after the match against Paris“, breathes the coach, who was not really able to take advantage of this break to work given the small group. “There are also the internationals. We’re going to get some people back today.“
Laborde, new solution ahead
The good news is the return of Gaëtan Laborde, after two months of absence. “Gaëtan is attracted by the goal, he has always scored. He will bring us his freshness, his determination. Having a strong commitment counts to score, and he has that. He was absent for two months. Like all injured players, he found it a long time. Even if he returns a little ahead of the expected deadlines. I like to see him when he’s up there, close to the goal. One of his great qualities is his ability to finish actions. But I know he is capable of playing in the supporting roles of the striker.”
Who to replace Dante?
Finally regarding Dante’s suspension in Nantes, Franck Haise seemed sincere when he told us that he had no idea yet of the defense he would field at Beaujoire. “I have not yet seen Moïse Bombito after his return from selection. Abdelmonem played with Egypt, that’s good. We’re going to see the state of the troops. The only one I was able to work with and who can fit into this three-way defense is Antoine Mendy.”
Pablo Rosario started the season behind at Auxerre. It can therefore be a solution to replace Dante. In any case, the Dutchman says he is ready. As always. “I play where the coach asks me. I am versatile. I don’t yet know where I will play in Nantes. For me it’s quite difficult to judge the start of the season. We had some good matches and we didn’t always get the results we wanted. We have done a lot of good things and the results will come. I’ve been waiting for these first goals for a long time.“Pablo Rosario also took advantage of his presence in front of the microphones to remind us that he was still under contract until 2026 and was deeply involved in the Nice project. “This is my fourth season here and I’m very involved.”
