Brendan Chardonnet played with a broken rib against FC Nantes

At a press conference on Friday morning, Éric Roy noted the absences of numerous players (Locko, Coulibaly, Cardinal Lees-Melou, Martin and Ajorque) for the reception of Nantes in Ligue 1 on Sunday. He also revealed uncertainties concerning Marco Bizot and Brendan Chardonnet. The Dutch goalkeeper, injured in a shoulder against PSV, finally withdrew. Chardonnet managed to hold his place in central defense… despite a broken rib, according to our information.

Scorer against Nantes on Sunday in the 4-1 success, Chardonnet received a yellow card on Tuesday in the Champions League after a foul on Malik Tillman, whom he had stopped in mid-race. Warned for this gesture, the Brestois was hit head-on on the right flank by the Dutch attacker. Chardonnet remained on the ground for several seconds. The Brest captain should take six to eight weeks to recover but should be able to play despite this injury. As a reminder, two central defenders are already injured and unfit at Stade Brestois: Soumaïla Coulibaly (pubalgia) and Julien Le Cardinal (thigh).
