Already deprived of many executives from last season (M’Vila, Khazri, Boudebouz, Ruffier) by decision of coach Claude Puel, Saint-Etienne had to deal with the injury of Mathieu Debuchy, its captain, on Wednesday. The right-back (35) was injured in contact with Raphinha in the first period of the friendly match played in Rennes. After trying to stay on the lawn, he came out a few minutes later, limping, apparently hit in the right knee and replaced by Assane Dioussé (27th).
