Tonight, Le Gym will make its debut in the Coupe de la Ligue on the Bordeaux field (6:45 PM), with the main objective being to give playing time to those players who lack it.
The Opponent
In the round of 32, the Girondins de Bordeaux won 0-2 on Châteauroux’s field, thanks to goals by Kamano (40th minute) and Ounas (84th minute).
The Absentees
Starting players against Monaco (4-0 defeat), the two offensive players François Kamano and Adam Ounas will be suspended this Wednesday. The Uruguayan striker Diego Rolan is also on the absentee list, as is the right-back on loan from PSG, Youssouf Sabaly, both due to injuries. Finally, Cédric Carrasso “is recovering well,” explained Gourvennec to the press.
On the Nice side, while there was some uncertainty during the press conference, the coach ultimately did not include Wylan Cyprien, who was injured in Paris. Suspended, Younès Belhanda will also not be traveling, along with Dalbert, Paul Baysse, and Valentin Eysseric (injured).
