Team News
Bordeaux
Metz
- Despite all his efforts, Willy Sagnol has announced that Jussîe will not return to league action this season after the Brazilian picked up a new knee injury at training shortly before his expected return.
- Isaac Thelin missed Bordeaux's 2-0 defeat at Lille at the weekend with a heel problem and may not recover in time to partner Diego Rolan up front for this one, which would benefit Henri Saivet.
- Left-back Diego Contento missed last weekend's match after a series of poor performances but may return to the starting line-up, while Nicolas Pallois switches to centre-back once more.
- Les Grenats will travel to Bordeaux without Romain Rocchi, Jonathan Rivierez, Kwame Nsor and Sylvain Marchal due to injury.
- Albert Cartier will most likely field the same starting XI that has secured back-to-back league wins for the first time since September.
- Florent Malouda and Modibo Maïga will be Metz's main threats to the hosts, while Anthony Mfa should continue to start in goal at the expense of Johan Carrasso.
