Stéphane Dumont seeks right balance as injury-hit Troyes visit Angers | OneFootball

According to L'Équipe, Troyes head coach Stéphane Dumont will again contend with several absentees for Saturday's 20:45 trip to Angers on matchday five of Ligue 1.

An encouraging start, a 0-0 draw with PFC then a 2-1 win over Lorient, was followed by setbacks, a 2-6 defeat to Strasbourg and a 0-2 loss at Lille.

Dumont remains without defender Paolo Gozzi (knee), right winger Merwan Ifnaoui (calf) and midfielder Alexandre Phliponeau (adductors). They could return after the international window.

Full-backs Ismaël Boura (hip) and Yvann Titi (thigh) are set for longer absences.

He hopes to find the right balance between compactness to nullify opponents and attacking edge, with more changes of tempo and spontaneity.
