Other returns, that of suspension of another defender Modibo Sagnan and midfielder Sacha Delaye. These reappearances compensate for the absences due to injury of Joris Chotard (calf) and Silvan Hefti (thigh). 

How should we interpret the calls in the group of Falaye Sacko and Modibo Sagan among the eight defenders of the group ?  A desire from Michel Der Zakarian to strengthen his defense to thwart the Parisian attack and why not line up a 5-man defense. This would not be the trend and we should find the same defense (Tchato, Omeragic, Kouyaté, Sylla) and midfielder (Leroy, Ferri, Savanier) who started the second half in Nice given the injuries to Chotard and Hefti. 

In front, no change either, Khazri should be supported by Tamari and Nordin.
