Victim of a haematoma last weekend, Ibrahima Sissoko will start on the bench against Clermont, and Grégory Poirier has handed the armband to another player.
This Friday, FC Nantes host Clermont in Ligue 1. On this occasion, manager Grégory Poirier unveiled his team selection. Midfielder Ibrahima Sissoko, injured during the previous matchday in Saint-Étienne, is not in the starting XI. He will start the match on the substitutes' bench.
Sissoko is suffering from a haematoma sustained during the match played last weekend in the Forez. This injury forced him to give up his place in the first team. The Nantes coaching staff made this decision to protect the player, who could potentially come on during the match if his condition allows.
Direct consequence of this absence, Grégory Poirier had to name a new captain to lead the team on the pitch. This is a significant choice, with the club facing an unusual situation with several armband changes this season. The Nantes manager opted for an internal solution, without specifying whether this choice will be permanent or limited to this match.
This encounter against Clermont holds particular importance for Nantes, who are hoping to return to winning ways after a complicated away trip. The lineup selected by Poirier demonstrates his willingness to rely on a solid squad, despite the physical uncertainties. FC Nantes will need to show discipline to obtain a positive result in front of their home crowd.
