Olivier Dall’Oglio has a significant injury list to contend with as AS Saint-Étienne look to build on their first victory of the season when they travel to the Allianz Riviera to face OGC Nice.
There is a long list of absentees for Les Verts. Yvann Macon’s absence is one of the biggest blows, but ASSE also find themselves without Anthony Briancon, Cheikh Fall, Thomas Monconduit, and Ibrahima Wadji due to injury. That long list of injuries somewhat limits Dall’Oglio’s options.
Lucas Stassin is expected to be given the nod, ahead of Ibrahima Sissoko, whilst New Zealand winger Ben Old may also have to settle for a place on the bench. Pierre Ekwah, who arrived from Sunderland in the summer to reinforce Saint-Étienne’s midfield, is expected to start.
