Reims predicted XI v Metz: Teddy Teuma sent on holiday for relegation playoffs | OneFootball

Stade de Reims have two games to maintain their place in Ligue 1 after they slipped into the relegation playoff spot on the final day of the season. Tonight, they travel to the East of France to play Ligue 2 side FC Metz.

Head coach Samba Diawara will be without Teddy Teuma, who has not played since the 2nd of April, when he scored the match-winning goal in the Coupe de France semi-final against AS Cannes. According to Le Parisien, Teuma’s request to go on holiday out of frustration at his situation was accepted by the club.

Diawara will also be without Yaya Fofana, Reda Khadra, and Mohamed Daramy, all three of whom have had significant injuries that have seen them miss almost the entire campaign. However, other than these four players who have not played much of a role under Diawara, Reims will have a full contingent to pick from.
