All hands on deck, or almost, since only Arouna Sangante is missing, affected in the adductors and whose unavailability could be long. So Didier Digard had to play with the embarrassment of choices, those which made Samuel Grandsir their first victim, invisible for many months and this time excluded from the “20”.
Pembele preferred to Nego
So which men did the Le Havre coach decide to rely on at kick-off? Who are those, above all, who will have the mission of shaking up the offensive sector, one of the two most discreet in the competition (along with that of Montpellier)? Obviously, André Ayew will start. Alone in front? Well no! For the second time this season, Emmanuel Sabbi, the man with five goals in 2023-24, will be launched from the start.
A duo behind which a trio will be positioned, that of the midfield, a classic midfielder, with Yassine Kechta, Abdoulaye Touré and Oussama Targhalline. On the other hand, behind it, a surprise. At least half a surprise, since the locking and animation of the right flank will be entrusted, not to Loïc Nego, but to Timothée Pembele.
The composition: Desmas – Pembele, Salmier, Youte, Lloris, Opéri – Kechta, Touré, Targhalline – Ayew, Sabbi
