No time to rehash. After their heavy defeat in Toulouse (6-1), Wednesday, the Ruthénois will quickly have to “switcher”, to use an Anglicism often used by their coach. Didier Santini’s men will play a crucial meeting in the race to maintain, tomorrow at 7 p.m. in Niort, since this duel opposes the last two of the classification.
While goalkeepers Lionel Mpasi (jaw) and Sébastien Cibois (shoulder) will still be unavailable, many uncertainties surround the composition of the central defense. In addition to the long-term absentees, Aymen Abdennour (quadriceps) and Joris Chougrani, released on Wednesday due to pain in an Achilles tendon, will not be able to hold their place.
Danger in firefighting or even change of system?
This means that the blood and gold coach will only have three post specialists for this meeting: Eric Vandenabeele, who lives in Toulouse, Serge-Philippe Raux-Yao and Kevin Boma. It remains to be seen whether he will field these three, especially since the last two were particularly shaken at the Stadium. The alternative could be to roll back Bradley Danger in defense, like against Bastia (0-2) on Saturday. Or change the system.
