RC Strasbourg Alsace are without Ismael Doukouré and Martial Godo for the trip to face OGC Nice on Sunday afternoon.
Doukouré could not honour his call-up to the Ivory Coast national team during the international break and Hugo Oliveira has confirmed that the club captain will not be fit to face Nice. A timescale on his return was not provided by the Portuguese manager. In defence, it is Karim Coulibaly who is expected to patrner Jeyland Mitchell.
Martial Godo has not yet featured, however, he has now started running again and so is nearing a return. This game against Le Gym comes too early for him, however. Oliveira has plenty of decisions to make, including who starts up top. L’Équipe understands that it could be Jacobo Ortega who gets the nod.
Strasbourg likely line-up v Nice
Filip Jorgensen; Oso, Karim Coulibaly, Jeyland Mitchell, Genesis Antwi; Samir El-Mourabet, Pape Demba Diop; Sébastien Nanasi, Diogo Sousa, Gessime Yassine; Jacobo Ortega. (L’Éq)
