Great first for FC Lorient and Julien Laporte. On the occasion of the reception of the Stade Brestois, Sunday November 7 (3 p.m.) on behalf of the 13th day of Ligue 1, Christophe Pelissier will have to compose without his central defender. The native of Clermont-Ferrand, who had so far not missed a single minute of play this season, was replaced at the break of the match against Strasbourg after feeling an ankle alert.
Julien Laporte suspended
But it is for disciplinary reasons that the former Clermont Foot 63 will be forfeited, since he was guilty of a third yellow card in less than ten matches on the last day against Bordeaux. Consequence: he will be suspended for the reception of Brest. His midfielder Armand Laurienté will also be absent and should not be back before the international break. Top scorer for Les Merlus (4 goals), he was already absent for the reception of Bordeaux and the trip to Strasbourg. And today his psoas pain does not seem to be totally resolved.
Doubts on both sides
Concerning Moritz Jenz (affected with hamstrings on Sunday) and Stéphane Diarra (injured in the thigh), both replaced during the game during the trip to Alsace, doubts hover over their participation in the next Lorient match. In the opposite camp, that of Stade Brestois 29, defender Christophe Hérelle, long-injured and back for the last two matches against Lille and Monaco, could be forced to miss the trip to Morbihan. On the other hand, midfielder Hianga’a Mbock, who could not attend the first victory of the season because of his suspension, will again be able to claim a place in Michel Der Zakarian’s eleven. Between now and Sunday, the two technicians will be giving news of their group anyway.
