Koscielny and Onana absent, Mexer uncertain for the trip to Monaco
Bordeaux will have to do without Laurent Koscielny and Junior Onana for his trip to Monaco on Sunday. Defender Edson Mexer is uncertain
Vladimir Petkovic did well to insist on replacing Junior Onana at half-time in the match in Montpellier. The midfielder does not suffer from an injury but from a tear in the right adductor, according to the medical point issued by the club on Friday. It is again fixed for the trip of the Girondins to Monaco on Sunday (3 p.m.), the last meeting before the international break.
Laurent Koscielny still suffers from his bone contusion on his right ankle and simply cycling. Issouf Sissokho (tibia fissure) is working indoors and Josh Maja (back) is re-athletic. Thursday, he worked the lessons with the physiotherapist David Das Neves.
Niang and Elis will be there
The bad news this week comes from Edson Mexer, who has an individualized schedule for adductor pain. His absence would be a blow that would force Petkovic to reshape his central defense once again.
After being deprived of his first steps last weekend for administrative reasons, M’Baye Niang should make his debut this weekend with Bordeaux, just like Alberth Elis. As holders? “If we ask them, they will definitely answer that they can be. We will see with the last trainings. They are not at 100% and lack rhythm, ”replied Vladimir Petkovic.
