Brest predicted XI v Nantes: Romain Del Castillo out | OneFootball

Romain Del Castillo is expected to miss out on Stade Brestois tie against FC Nantes on Friday having missed training on Thursday.

The Brest winger is set to undergo an MRI on a knee injury and it would therefore be a surprise if he plays any part against Les Canaris in the Breton derby. It is Mathias Pereria Lage who is expected to take his place on the right wing with Ludovic Ajorque leading the line and Abdallah Sima playing off the left.

There is a boost with Pierre Lees-Melou once again fully operational and he will start at the heart of Brest’s midfield with Mahdi Camara and Hugo Magnetti alongside him. That is Les Ty-Zéfs’ first-choice midfield but one that they have rarely been able to align this season.
