Kolodziejczak, Hamouma, Debuchy, Youssouf, Bouanga, Abi, Bajic, Green, Monnet-Paquet and Moukoudi. Here are the ten players from Saint-Etienne absent this Sunday in Strasbourg because they are positive for Covid-19. Added to this are the forfeits of almost the entire staff as well as four injured players: Mason, Khazri, Retsos and Neyou.
In connection with Claude Puel, confined in the Loire, Laurent Huard, n ° 1 on the bench at La Meinau, fielded a very rejuvenated team at kick-off, especially on the bench, but not completely inexperienced.
Survivor in goal, Jessy Moulin will command a very young defense where only Miguel Trauco is used to his high level position. Saïdou Sow will be in the axis and Alpha Sissoko on the right.
A question still remains one hour before the start of the meeting on the game system used. Mahdi Camara, Lucas Gourna follow in the middle, with Aïmen Moueffek and Baptiste Gabard. One of those men could be lined up in the back. Ryad Boudebouz, Arnaud Nordin and Jean-Philippe Krasso are the three offensive players from Saint-Etienne.
Seven players come from the ASSE training center (twelve out of the eighteen players on the scoresheet).
