If Stade Brestois has certainly validated its qualification for the Champions League play-offs in Prague, it has also left feathers there. For the trip to Montpellier, this Sunday (5 p.m.) Eric Roy, if he deplored “no serious injury”, had many uncertainties where he explained that there would still be adjustments in his composition until the last moment.
As proof, the Brest group was only communicated at midday this Sunday. In Hérault, the Stade Brestois coach preferred to leave Ludovic Ajorque, Massadio Haïdara and Soumaïla Coulibaly to rest before the last international break in 2024. But absent since Leverkusen, Abdallah Sima makes his return to the group like Luck Zogbé.
