FC Nantes welcomes Clermont for the 18th day of Ligue 1, this Sunday (3 p.m.). Here is the expected composition for the Canaries.
Stuck in the soft underbelly of the ranking, FC Nantes is approaching this return phase with the ambition of finishing in the top 9. Jocelyn Gourvennec, who succeeded Pierre Aristouy on the Canaries bench, intends to put his paw down on a group deemed perfectible. A group largely remodeled during the month of January.
In addition to the movements of a lively winter transfer window, FC Nantes must also and above all deal with notable absences due to the African Cup of Nations. No less than 4 major elements of the group left to join their respective selections: Castelleto, Moutoussamy, Mohamed and Simon.
In addition to these departures for the CAN, Gourvennec must also do without Meupiyou and Ganago, both in the infirmary. Winter reinforcement Kadewere should start his first Ligue 1 match in the yellow and green jersey. Mollet and Sissoko are expected to support him in a 3-4-3 formation.
The expected line-up for Nantes : Lafont – Duverne, Cömert, Pallois – Coco, Augusto, Chirivella, Merlin – Sissoko, Mollet – Kadewere.
