Strasbourg predicted XI v Slovan Bratislava: Ben Chilwell and Emanuel Emegha out | OneFootball

RC Strasbourg Alsace will have to contend with a long list of absentees as they get their UEFA Europa Conference League campaign underway against Slovan Bratislava this evening.

Emanuel Emegha, the club captain, is currently injured and won’t return until after the international break. Mamadou Sarr is also out with injury, as is Maxi Oydele and Sébastien Nanasi. Ben Chilwell, meanwhile, is suffering from an illness and therefore has not made the trip for Strasbourg’s first Europa Conference League ‘League Phase’ game.

It means that Diego Moreira will start at left-wing-back, with Ismael Doukouré captaining the side at left-centre-back. With Liam Rosenior not wanting to take any risks with Joaquín Panichelli either, Chelsea loanee Kendry Paez may lead the line, with Félix Lemarechal playing off him.
