Strasbourg predicted XI v Nantes: Sékou Mara to replace absent Emanuel Emegha

Injured during last weekend’s 4-2 loss against Paris Saint-Germain, Emanuel Emegha will now miss out on RC Strasbourg Alsace’s fixture against FC Nantes.

In the absence of Emegha, summer signing Sékou Mara will get his chance to impress and lead the line, against Les Canaris. Moïse Sahi Dion, Thomas Delaine, Marvin Senaya, and Caleb Wiley are also still out for Strasbourg. However, Guéla Doué and Ismaël Doukouré are once again at Liam Rosenior’s disposal following their return from suspension. Both are expected to return to the starting line-up on Sunday afternoon.

Diego Moreira is expected to continue in his role as left-wing-back – a role in which he has thrived so far this season – whilst Chelsea loanee Andrey Santos will continue in the midfield.
