US Orléans, which will play in Quevilly/Rouen on Saturday November 3 (7:30 p.m.), will travel to Normandy without Loïc Goujon or Grégory Berthier. Kévin Testud and Marvin Baudry could also miss this match on the 11th day of the National.
US Orléans will not play in Quevilly/Rouen this Friday, November 2, like the rest of the National field, but on Saturday, November 3 (7:30 p.m.), the Robert-Diochon stadium being occupied for the National rugby clash between Rouen ( 2nd) and Chambéry (1st).
Absent
Loïc Goujon, suspended for an accumulation of yellow cards, will not be traveling to Normandy. The Orléans midfielder would have been out anyway, since he blocked his back during training on Wednesday.
Grégory Berthier will not be able to apply either, after being affected last weekend in the Coupe de France. He was diagnosed with a tear in his adductor muscles, which will probably keep him out of action for the entire month of November.
Marvin Baudry, who has been suffering from back pain for around ten days, is uncertain: “He will take a final test on Friday,” says his coach Hervé Della Maggiore.
There is also doubt about the presence of Kévin Testud, who became the father of little Giulia on Wednesday.
What about QRM?
Quevilly/Rouen also has its share of absentees. Defender Nadjib Cissé is suspended, after being excluded in the 6th round of the Coupe de France. Injured or in the recovery phase, Tony Njiké and Théo Pionnier will not be in uniform tomorrow evening.
Cutoff
The Orléanais will cut for four days, after this 11th day of the championship. A break “beneficial, while the players have been on deck since July” (dixit Hervé Della Maggiore), and allowed by the exempt status next weekend (the championship is being played at 17 after the refusal of commitment of the Girondins de Bordeaux).
