Castelto suspended, an important absence for Nantes

With which starting eleven? Nantes will have to do without an important element in the person of Jean-Charles Castelteto. The Cameroonian international must serve a suspension match following his expulsion against Lille. It is the young Saïdou Sow who could accompany the experienced Nicolas Pallois in central defense.

For the rest, the FCN should rely on its living forces, with an Abline-Mohamed-Simon trio in attack. Lepenant is expected in the midfield. Lopes, aligned in goals, should have a major role to play against a very playful team in their arena.

The expected composition for Nantes : Lopes – Amian, Sow, Pallois, Cozza – Leroux, Augusto, Lepenant – Abline, Mohamed, Simon.
