On Friday afternoon, Les Aiglons took part in a final training session. After this, Patrick Vieira announced the names of those players making the trip to Strasbourg.

Already without Stanley Nsoki, Adam Ounas, Ibrahim Cissé (rehabilitation), Wylan Cyprien and Christophe Hérelle (suspended), Le Gym will also have to do without Adrien Tameze and Kasper Dolberg in Alsace. The midfielder (illness) and the forward (back pain) don’t feature on the list of the 19 players travelling.

However, there will be four members of the squad making their return to the matchday contingent: Youcef Atal, Gautier Lloris, Khephren Thuram and Rémi Walter. The latter had been out since 10 August (sprained ankle during Nice 2-1 Amiens).

The match between RCSA and OGC Nice will start at 8pm on Saturday.

The 19 Aiglons: 

Goalkeepers: Benitez, Clémentia

Defenders: Burner, Pelmard, Dante, Sarr, Atal, Lloris, Coly

Midfielders: Thuram, Lusamba, Lees-Melou, Walter, Danilo, Boudaoui

Forwards: Srarfi, Myziane, Claude-Maurice, Ganago.
