Barely in the league, ASSE will try to return to victory this Sunday against FC Metz. For this poster, Claude Puel will have to do without the services of Harold Moukoudi.
Heavy blow for ASSE against FC Metz
After its promising start to the championship (3 wins in the first 3 days), ASSE has fallen back into its pitfalls. AS Saint-Étienne have not tasted victory for four Ligue 1 games. Worse, the Greens remain on three consecutive defeats in the league. Opposed to FC Metz this Sunday, the men of Claude Puel will try to find the path to victory. This challenge, the Stéphanois will have to meet it without Harold Moukoudi. The central defender of Saint-Étienne is forfeited against the Garnets. The Cameroonian has tested positive for Covid-19 and will therefore not be traveling to Moselle. A stopper for the former Le Havre who had just completed four starts in Ligue 1.
Moukoudi package, Saint-Étienne weakened against Metz?
With Harold Moukoudi’s forfeit, ASSE has another absence in defense. Claude Puel is already deprived of Mathieu Debuchy, Miguel Trauco, Yvann Maçon and Gabriel Silva, all injured. Expelled against RC Lens during the 6th day, Timothy Kolodziejczak is suspended for the match against Metz. It is therefore with reduced defense that the Greens go to Saint-Symphorien. Bad news when you consider that they have conceded 10 goals in their last four games.
