While waiting for the official group of theASSE, two players from Claude Puel’s team, Zaydou Youssouf and Charles Abi are uncertain to face FC Lorient.

ASSE: Charles Abi announced unavailable against FC Lorient

ASSSE faces FC Lorient on Sunday (3 p.m.) at Geoffroy-Guichard in their first Ligue 1 match this season. It will be without Charles Abi, according to information from The team. Suffering from hamstring fatigue this week, the forward is not available for the Hake reception, according to daily sports indiscretions. The media also said he “did not participate in Thursday’s collective training session.” However, he trained “with a physical trainer this Friday”. The source understands that Claude Puel will preserve Charles Abi. Therefore, the latter should be forfeited against the Lorient.

Zaydou Youssouf spared against the Hake?

Another ASSE player is uncertain. This is Zaydou Youssouf, who was operated on in February 2020 for a ruptured posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Returned after a long absence, he had played the friendly preparation match against Angers SCO on August 15. But two days before the arrival of FC Lorient in Saint-Étienne, the midfielder felt “a pain in the left quadriceps”, according to Progress. “The medical staff of the Greens and Claude Puel have decided not to take any risks with the 21-year-old player, put to rest and therefore forfeit for the reception of Lorient,” announced the regional newspaper.
