Injury and team news Eric Bailly who is currently on loan from Manchester United will be missing out on this fixture as he was sent off in the 15th minute against Hyeres. Jonathan Clauss will also be reportedly out of this fixture due to a groin injury which will give Issa Kabore a place in the starting lineup. Martin Terrier is out of the season with an ACL injury which will be a massive blow for the Les Rouges et Noir while the return of Xeka is highly unexpected as there are some concerns regarding his sprained ankle. Hamari Traore is a viable option at left back for Bruno Geserio as he will depend mostly on Gouiri and Majer to deliver the goods yet again.
It is very rare to see Doku outpaced by an opposing player. He has already scored once in Coupe De France this season and will be looking to capitalize on it again.
