FC Lorient come up against visitors Reims at Stade Yves Allainmat in their Ligue 1 meeting on Sunday, and we have the latest injury news and predicted line ups to hand.
FC Lorient, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 1-2 Ligue 1 triumph over FC Metz. In our view, Les Merlus should kick off with a 3-4-2-1 system this time, beginning the first half with Yvon Mvogo, Montassar Talbi, Nathaniel Adjei, Isaak Toure, Panos Katseris, Laurent Abergel, Imran Louza, Théo Le Bris, Ayman Kari, Julien Ponceau and Mohamed Bamba.
Regarding absentees, there’s just one fitness concern for the FC Lorient gaffer Régis Le Bris to contend with from an otherwise complete group of players. Quentin Boisgard will miss out.
How FC Lorient could look to take on Reims
Since being beaten in their last game against Toulouse in Ligue 1 competition, Reims and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one. There’s a good chance that Les rouges et blancs could decide to elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation, giving starts to Yehvann Diouf, Emmanuel Agbadou, Yunis Abdelhamid, Joseph Okumu, Thibault De Smet, Amir Richardson, Marshall Munetsi, Reda Khadra, Benjamin Stambouli, Teddy Teuma and Mohammed Daramy.
Due to a completely healthy group available to choose from, Reims boss Will Still does not have any fitness worries to speak of before this game.
