This Saturday, Stade Brestois hosts OL for the 17th day of Ligue 1. For this meeting, Eric Roy still has to deal with several packages, already recorded.
2025 has just begun and the Brest Stadium still facing the same problem. Since the start of the season, Eric Roy cannot count on its entire squad since the club is the victim of a massacre of injuries. For the resumption of the championship against Angers last weekend, Bradley Locko, Jonas Martin, Julien Le Cardinal, Soumaïla Coulibaly or even Pierre Lees-Melou were not present in the group. A few days before facing OL, as part of the 17th day of Ligue 1, Eric Roy took stock of his squad’s withdrawals.
Lees-Melou absent against OL
Indeed, during the pre-match press conference, the Brest coach gave news of Pierre Lees-Melouback in training this Wednesday. “Pierre has resumed training with the group, but not completely. He will resume completely with the group on Monday, at 100%. He has a little bit of pain, but much less than when he resumed during the summer. For the “Now it’s green. The real test will be when he’s actually in training, when there are matches, there’s contact.”said Eric Roy.
The coach, former player of theOLalso gave news about Soumaïla Coulibaly. The player who was operated on for pubalgia Bordeaux at the beginning of December and who began his rehabilitation at Netherlands, should make his return, alongside Brestthis Saturday. “It’s going to be a bit of an unknown to know if he’s already able to return to training or not. A priori it’s going in the right direction”. A delicate situation that Éric Roy hopes to see improve quickly.
