When it does not want… As if AS Saint-Etienne did not already have enough worries with the bad results which follow one another, the internal turmoil and the reinforcements which do not arrive, it will have to do without two offensive players to the trip to Strasbourg on Sunday. Denis Bouanga’s package had already been recorded for a few days but its nature remained to be determined. Le Progrès gives it in its edition of the day and adds another offensive element to the list of absentees.
Pending confirmation from Puel
According to Le Progrès, if the Gabonese striker will not be at Meinau this weekend, it is because he is affected by the Covid-19! And he is not the only one in the Saint-Etienne workforce: Charles Abi, who scored his first goal in Ligue 1 last week in Reims (1-3), also contracted the coronavirus. The regional daily is conditional on this information, noting that the symptoms of the two players resemble those of the terrible virus. Timothée Kolodziejczak recently tested positive.
Claude Puel will confirm this version tomorrow (or not). But if this is the case, he will spare himself a headache to compose his line of attack since the able-bodied players will be counted on the fingers of one hand …
Good recovery to Charles Abi, affected by covid 19. Dénis Bouanga, Timothée Kolodziejczak are also positive. Retsos, Khazri, Silva, Neyou packages. Moukoudi held his groin at the end of the match against Reims, the hecatomb back? pic.twitter.com/aNcQH3uiep
