Stade Brestois are heavily depleted at left-back. Bradley Locko suffered an ACL injury just before the start of the season and is not expected to return until the final weeks of the campaign. Then, against Olympique Lyonnais at the weekend, Brest lost Jordan Amavi and Massadio Haïdara. It leaves Éric Roy without a recognised left-back as they prepare to face FC Nantes in the Coupe de France on Wednesday night.
It means that Kenny Lala, a right-back by trade, will likely have to fill in at left-back with the inexperienced Luck Zogbé coming in at right-back.
Julien Le Cardinal and Jonas Martin also remain out, as do Soumaïla Coulibaly and Pierre Lees-Melou. The latter two players are, however, nearing their returns for The Ty-Zéfs.
Brest likely line-up v Nantes
Grégoire Coudert; Kenny Lala, Abdoulaye Ndiaye, Brendan Chardonnet, Luck Zogbé; Hugo Magnetti, Edimilson Fernandes, Mahdi Camara; Ibrahim Salah, Abdallah Sima, Mathias Pereira Lage. (Eq)
