Rain of hard blows for AS Saint-Etienne! Two days before receiving the Trojan leader at Geoffroy-Guichard, Philippe Montanier was at a press conference. And the Saint-Etienne coach unfortunately had bad news to announce.
“Paul Eymard fractured his tibia during the reserve match on Sunday. It’s a dark weekend for us with Jaber who had surgery yesterday (Wednesday), he is out until the end of the season », indicated the 61-year-old technician to the press.
In addition to the absences of Paul Eymard and Mahmoud Jaber, Philippe Montanier is still without Florian Tardieu. And probably until the end of the season. “ Tardieu is still unavailable, it will be difficult to see him again before the end of the season. He brings his experience and his leadership to the group off the field but on the pitch it will be tricky”announced Montanier.
Some good news nonetheless
In terms of good news, however, “ Djylian N’Guessan, for his part, made an individual recovery after a blow received (with the reserve) “, while “ Nadir El Jamali returned. He continues his rehabilitation. ” Finally, ” Gautier Larsonneur is doing well, on Thursdays, he often does a session indoors, just like Julien Le Cardinal. »
As a reminder, the Greens currently occupy second place in the Ligue 2 standings, tied on points with third, Le Mans. And in the event of a victory over Troyes on Saturday, they would come within one length of the Aube leader.
