Without him, Brest had ideally started its Champions League campaign. Then he scored against Bayer Leverkusen (1-1, October 23), his only goal so far this season, before missing again the trip to Barcelona (0-3, November 26) or the prestigious success against PSV Eindhoven (1-0, December 10). Brest showed that it had resources without him, but for Roy, faced with numerous absences (Locko, Haïdara, Amavi, Le Cardinal, J. Martin, S. Coulibaly), it is also a significant new asset in a tunnel of close matches, before the trips to Rennes this Saturday and to Gelsenkirchen, Wednesday, against Chakhtior Donetsk.
