Le Havre AC kick off their Ligue 1 campaign by hosting reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain. Looking to get their season off to a positive start, they will have to do so without club captain Arouna Sanganté.
There are many uncertainties for Le Havre as they head into the Ligue 1 curtain raiser. The Normand club appointed Didier Digard as their new manager earlier in the summer and there is some uncertainty as to whether he will deploy his side in a back five or a back three.
L’Équipe understands that Les Ciel et Marines will be deployed in a defensive-minded 4-3-3 to face PSG. They must do without Sanganté, who is out through suspension, whilst another key performer from last season, Oussama Targhalline, misses out through injury.
