FC Lorient are without just one player, wing-back Pano Katseris, as they prepare to host Stade Brestois at the Stade du Moustoir on Monday night.

Katseris has sustained an adductor injury that will rule him out of this game. Gabin Bernardeau or Théo Le Bris would seem logical replacements, however, L’Équipe understands that it will be Dembo Sylla who gets the nod from Alexandre Dujeux. There are no other major absentees for the Lorient manager to contend with for Les Ty-Zéfs’ visit tonight.

In defence, Isaak Touré is expected to continue his revival. Firstly, due to injury and then due to lack of form, fitness, and application, he had spent months on the sidelines prior to his return to competition. He is expected to line up alongside captain Montassar Talbi.
