AS Saint-Etienne : An inexplicable sidelining by Claude Puel | ASSE News

But Football Club journalist Laurent Hess said he did not understand the reasons why ASSE boss Claude Puel left Ryad Boudebouz on the sidelines.

“Like Wahbi Khazri. The Tunisian will be reinstated for the trip to Lens this weekend, but not the Algerian, a priori. Maybe it will be after the end of the Mercato which ends on Monday. But there are lessons to be learned from the last two matches. And in my opinion, Boudebouz deserves just as much as Khazri to be taken out of the closet. I did not quite understand why Puel had done without him after the final against Paris, when he had been showing good dispositions since the beginning of the summer. And that it seemed to me flawless in terms of state of mind. “
