Eric Roy, the Stade Brestois coach, had to line up an experimental defense last Sunday on the Jean-Bouin pitch, against Paris FC (0-4). The Stade Brestois coach will once again be deprived of several defense executives on Sunday, a few dozen meters away, at the Parc des Princes, against Paris Saint-Germain.
Right-back Kenny Lala is suspended for this match against the Champions League finalist, who could be crowned champion of France this weekend. His counterpart on the left side, Bradley Locko, is recovering from a hamstring injury, but he will still be too tight to be in the squad on Sunday.
“Fatigue fracture” for Coulibaly
He could make his return next week for the match against Strasbourg or Angers: “It would be good if he could get back on the pitch before going on vacation, so that he doesn’t leave like an injured person,” notes Éric Roy.
The Brest coach will also not be able to field Soumaïla Coulibaly. “He reactivated a stress fracture in his tibia that he had suffered last year,” explains the Brest coach. He was already absent against Paris FC and had been replaced by the young Raphaël Le Guen, who had a difficult first time.
Doumbia back?
Ludovic Ajorque was absent from training on Thursday and Friday due to back pain, but he should be able to play against PSG. Entering during the match against Paris FC, Kamory Doumbia, “is not yet 100%”, estimates Eric Roy. But the Brest coach announced on Friday, in a pre-match conference, that the Malian “will participate” on Sunday in the match against PSG.
