🗞️ Team News: Metz

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the sole fitness concern for the Metz gaffer László Bölöni to contend with from an otherwise complete group. Marc-Aurèle Caillard (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won’t play.

Havre AC boss Luka Elsner has to currently contend with reduced team options. Abdelwahed Wahib (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) and Gautier Lloris (Unknown Injury) are not ready for selection.
