Update: Abergel, suffering from an ACL injury, should have a successor in midfield. In the meantime, we're banking on Sanson (currently in rehab), the others set to leave. ————- New coach. Pantaloni looks set to play in a 3-4-2-1. Plenty of uncertainties in central defense where Mendy and Oppong seem destined for the exit. The 3 remaining options are long-term injury returnees from last season, surely one or two recruits expected in this area. Same goes for the number 9 position, a recruit expected, the 2 young prospects Diallo and Oralpo seem a bit short. In midfield, will the coach trust Coulibaly, knowing that Boudaoui and Sanson don't seem to be in his good books. Diop, Bard, Diouf, Clauss should stay. The 2 new signings Abergel and Hein will be essential.
Key players
Original text: Abergel named captain upon arrival, Pantaloni's trusted man should be the metronome of the team like at Lorient Update: Abergel victim of an ACL injury… we're going with Clauss as the key player while waiting perhaps for Abergel's replacement. We expect a lot of activity from him, set pieces and assists on his flank. He's touched international level, why not get back there if he strings performances together.
Players to watch
Coulibaly, not yet 18, could be a nice discovery this season after already showing something in his rare appearances last season.
The fan's bet
Better season than the previous one. Dull patch expected.
