The list of absentees has grown further in Guingamp. To the long-term injured (Ndour, Planeix, Vallier, Sagna) was added the absence of Jacques Siwe, affected in the adductors just before the arrival of Rodez on Friday (3-0). Not yet recovered from his hamstring injury, Rayan Ghrieb is not expected until next Thursday for team training.
This week, Amine Hemia joined them, due to knee ligament pain. Thursday morning, it was Lebogang Phiri who withdrew due to psoas discomfort. A cascade of injuries to which is added the uncertainty concerning Alpha Sissoko, expelled against Sochaux and automatically suspended against Rodez. Thursday evening, the side was still awaiting the final decision from the Federation’s disciplinary committee. A host of bad news which led Sylvain Ripoll to recall defender Albin Demouchy and attacker Tieri Godame.
In Caen, Yann M’Vila is still in recovery while the ex-Brestois and Lorientais Mathias Autret should, as often, be a replacement, as well as the Landernéen Romain Thomas.
