AS Saint-Etienne – Angers SCO (Friday, 9 p.m.)
ASSE: Youssouf suspended, Green and Mason uncertain
Midfielder Zaydou Youssouf, expelled in Strasbourg, will serve his automatic suspension match. Other players are uncertain. This is the case, in particular, of the guardian Etienne Green, who was injured in Strasbourg, and right-back Yvann Maçon who, although he returned to training this week, has not played for many weeks due to calf pain. On the other hand, the Peruvian Miguel Trauco, income of selection, should take his place in the left lane of the defense. The same is true for Uruguayan Ignacio Ramirez, who, long on the substitutes’ bench and rested last weekend, could face a second start at the forefront of the attack.
SCO: Almost complete
Recovered from his frustration after the defeat against the Parisian leader (2-1), coach Gérald Baticle will still be able to count on all his executives for this trip to the red lantern. Zinedine Ould Khaled, operated on a thigh, is still in rehabilitation, and Abdoulaye Bamba, affected in a knee, also remains unavailable. Souleyman Doumbia was also absent in training at the start of the week, although it is not yet clear why. But the Ivorian left-back was already no longer titular, nor entered into play, during the last four games of Angers SCO.
