Present at a pre-match press conference on Friday, Antoine Kombouaré gave the traditional update on his squad which is almost complete to travel to Forez. The Canaries coach only regrets two absences: “The absentees are still the same, that is to say Tino Kadewere and Nathan Zézé. Kadewere was injured again with the reserve. He is in treatment. As for the deadlines, we are talking about five to six weeks.”
The former Olympique Lyonnais goalkeeper, who arrived in Loire-Atlantique a few weeks ago, is back and is applying for a place in the group just like Jean-Charles Castelletto: “Anthony resumed training on Thursday. Jean-Charles had to be taken care of. He had a little physical problem. There are repeat matches and compared to Brest, it was good to avoid the trip. He is a lot of matches, he plays with the selection. It's good that he rests a little.”
Kombouaré will therefore be able to rely on a large squad to go to the Chaudron, this Sunday at 3:00 p.m.
