On the sidelines since an altercation with the Ultramarines a month ago at halftime of the match between Bordeaux and Montpellier, Benoit Costil could make his comeback in the Gironde cages in Nantes on Sunday.
Accused of alleged racist behavior, Benoit Costil was not really supported by the management of the Girondins de Bordeaux, who instead prompted coach David Guion to sideline him. According to the official version, the sports management of the Girondins felt that Gaëtan Poussin offered more guarantees. Problem: the young Bordeaux goalkeeper sank against Lyon and did not do better against Saint-Etienne on Wednesday. While the Girondins are playing their maintenance in Ligue 1 more than ever, Benoit Costil could be brought out of the closet by David Guion on Sunday at 3 p.m. on the lawn of FC Nantes, according to the information disclosed this Friday by L’Equipe in its edition of the day.
Costil says he is ready to play again with Bordeaux
Worst defense in Ligue 1, the Girondins could welcome the return of the French international goalkeeper with relief. Benoit Costil, who was logically very affected by the accusations of racism against him, says he is in any case ready to return to the team. “Once the anger passed, he turned that into motivation. He only asks for one thing: to be able to play, defend the honor of the Girondins and help them to maintain themselves. said a close friend of Benoit Costil to L’Equipe after the draw of the Girondins de Bordeaux against Saint-Etienne. About ten days ago, the entourage of the French goalkeeper held a similar speech with Gérard Lopez, the boss of the Girondins. On the side of the Bordeaux management, it was recalled that Costil was not undesirable, nor in the closet, otherwise he would not even be on the bench as was the case against Lyon and Saint-Etienne. His return to the eleven is therefore more plausible than ever in Nantes on Sunday.
