As a player trained at AS Saint-Etienne, Arnaud Nordin had surely checked this trip to Lyon on his calendar. But according to Midi Libre, present at a press conference today, winger Pailladin could well miss the resumption of the championship this Saturday, at Groupama Stadium.
Victim of a sprained ankle this week in training, Arnaud Nordin must carry out a test during the day to confirm his presence or not against Olympique Lyonnais. In the event of bad news, he would join a long list of absentees which is struggling to fill up at the start of the year. In addition to Christopher Jullien, Kiki Kouyaté or Othmane Maamma, in the recovery phase, Jean-Louis Gasset will have to do without Junior Ndiaye, injured, Gabriel Barès, ill, or even Joris Chotard, suspended.
The Hérault coach will, however, be able to count on the returns of Rabby Nzingoula, Yanis Issoufou, Modibo Sagnan and Nikola Maksimović, all of whom have recovered. Enzo Tchato, suspended from Puy-en-Velay, is also back in the group.
