In the Foréziens’s starting lineup, Wesley Fofana played the entire game.

Mohamed Toubache-Ter, however, wanted to reassure the supporters by announcing that the presence of the player for the reception of RC Strasbourg (3rd day of Ligue 1, next Saturday) “is not called into question, he can play”, even if “It is an annoying embarrassment …”.
