After a two-week break, imposed by the postponement of the match against PSG, FC Nantes returns to Ligue 1 and welcomes RC Strasbourg, this Sunday (8:45 p.m.), at La Beaujoire. Penultimate in the championship, the FCN finds itself under pressure and obliged to obtain a result before going to Metz and Auxerre on their ground, its two direct competitors for the play-off place. The Canaries need points not to lose, but also to maintain the slim hope revived by the arrival of Vahid Halilhodzic on the Nantes bench.
For his first match and his return to La Beaujoire, the Yellows coach called a group of 22 players, gathered since this Saturday evening in a green. Affected in the ischios, Francis Coquelin does not appear there, nor Uros Radakovic and Abakar Sylla, sent all week with the reserve. They also participated in the National 3 meeting, just like Amady Camara.
Uncertain, Fabien Centonze is finally withdrawn. Vahid Halilhodzic will, however, be able to count on Deiver Machado and Tylel Tati.
The Nantes group (22)
Lopes, Carlgren, Mirbach – Guilbert, Awaziem, Tati, Cozza, Amian, Yousuf, Machado, Doucoure – Sissoko, Kaba, Lepenant, Tabibou, Leroux, Cabella – Ganago, Abline, Guirassy, El Arabi, Mohamed.
