Pre-match preview

Le Mans

A scan has confirmed Lucas Buadés has a thigh muscle injury that will keep him out until after the international break.

At centre-back, Samuel Yohou is expected to continue after making his first start of the season against Lens; he has generally played more effectively than Théo Eyoum in that position, and Eyoum has now been left out of the squad entirely.

In goal, Nicolas Kocik will start after being confirmed ahead of Ewan Hatfout. Kocik has generally made the stronger impression when the two have rotated.

Lorient

Ibrahima Baldé, who started for the first time in this run of matches against Toulouse, scored in the game and looks set to keep his place in Lorient's attack. Mamadou Koné, who had started three of the previous four games, came off the bench last time out.

On the right of midfield, Panos Katseris has started twice in the last four games to Théo Le Bris's two and is expected to continue in that role for Saturday's visit to Le Mans. Bandiougou Fadiga remains Lorient's only absentee, out with a hamstring injury.
