Brest without Kenny Lala but boosted by Ludovic Ajorque for Auxerre visit

Brest host Auxerre on Sunday, with Ludovic Ajorque available and Kenny Lala and Julien Le Cardinal missing.

According to L'Équipe, Ajorque has completed a two-match ban for the 17th-round fixture, which kicks off at 17:15.

It may be a simplistic link, but Brest, without Ajorque for their final two matches of 2025, saw a 1-3 league defeat at Rennes and a Coupe de France exit at Avranches. That last 64 tie finished 1-1 before a 4-5 loss on penalties, ending a run of three straight wins.

Pathé Mboup also returns from suspension. Le Cardinal, sent off in La Manche, serves a ban, while Lala has an internal knee ligament issue picked up in training and will sit out.

Also absent are midfielders Kamory Doumbia, with Mali, and Junior Dina-Ebimbe, with Cameroon, both away at the Africa Cup of Nations and into the last 16.
