For his trip to Montpellier on Sunday (1 p.m.), Saint-Étienne will have to do without Saïdou Sow. Retained in the Guinean selection, the young central defender (19 years old) “Has gone to an Amber List country and may not be available”, explained his trainer Claude Puel, this Friday in a press conference. The player must observe a period of quarantine. He will be the only one absent from the Greens.
“We have recovered eleven players who left for selection, continued the Stéphanois coach. For Africans in particular, there is a lot of fatigue following long journeys. It’s an advantage to play on Sunday to recover a bit more. “ The programming could thus allow the Peruvian Miguel Trauco, who did not come into play on the night of Thursday to Friday during the defeat of his team against Brazil (0-2), to appear in the group.
