Will Still, the Reims coach, deplores three major absences for the trip to Toulouse this Sunday (3 p.m., 9th day of Ligue 1). Japanese international left winger Keito Nakamura (23) certainly scored his fourth goal in four caps on October 13 against Canada (4-1). But above all he suffered a major sprain of his left ankle with bone tearing, which will keep him away from the field for four to six weeks.
In addition to Toulouse, he will therefore miss the Lorient reception (October 28), the trip to Nantes (November 5) and the match against PSG (November 11), hoping to be postponed for the trip to Rennes (November 26). November), therefore after the next international period. Dutch defensive midfielder Azor Matusiwa, injured in the adductor muscles during the friendly match (2-2) against Hespérange (LUX) last week, will be out for three to four weeks and can therefore hope to reappear at the last minute against Paris.
Young Richardson and Atangana will get playing time
Finally, Maltese international midfielder Teddy Teuma (30 years old, 33 caps, 3 goals), injured in an ankle (sprain) against Monaco (1-3, October 7) missed the two matches of his selection, in Italy (0 -4) and against Ukraine (1-3). He will also be unavailable for Sunday and will undoubtedly still be too tight for the Lorient reception.
Thus, without Teuma (4 goals, 2 offerings this season in L1, the most decisive Reims player) nor Matusiwa, the Champagne coach will be deprived of two captains in the midfield on Sunday in Toulouse, which opens the door to a tenure for the young Amir Richardson (21 years old, it would be his fourth) and/or Valentin Atangana (18 years old, it would be the first).
