Pascal Dupraz will (again) have to rack his brains! The Stade Malherbe Caen will be without two central defenders in the coming weeks. As the matches go on, Prince Oniangué and Jonathan Rivierez were both affected with the hamstring, Friday February 5, 2021 in Amiens. Jonathan Rivierez, who remained on the field for lack of a possible replacement (the five changes had been made), suffers from a stretch and will be absent for four weeks. His partner could be deprived of competition a little shorter.
Anthony Weber and who else?
There is therefore only one central defender by profession – Anthony Weber – in the weed control workforce. However, the Caen coach has opted for a three-way defense during the last two outings. It will be necessary, again, to tinker. Alexis Beka Beka, replacing Jonathan Rivierez at the end of the match in Amiens, proved that he could be counted on in this position. Jason Ngouabi, taken off the radar after his setbacks in Niort in October 2020, is also there. The side Steeve Yago and Hugo Vandermersch can, moreover, evolve in the axis.

Already deprived of its goalkeeper Rémy Riou, Caen must therefore now do without its central hinge. A real thorn in the side before facing Paris in the Coupe de France, Wednesday February 10, 2021, then Niort in Ligue 2 three days later.
