🗞️ Team News: Rodez

Regarding absentees, there’s just the sole fitness concern for the Rodez manager Didier Santini to contend with thanks to an otherwise robust set of players. Amiran Sanaia (cancer) will miss out.

📰 Team News: EA Guingamp

Out of a mainly healthy group of players, there is only the sole fitness issue for the EA Guingamp boss Stéphane Dumont to be concerned about. Pierre Lemonnier (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won’t be in action.
