Strasbourg predicted XI v Lorient: Emanuel Emegha out, Ben Chilwell benched | OneFootball

RC Strasbourg Alsace will face FC Lorient on Sunday afternoon, looking to get their Ligue 1 campaign back on track. They will do so without star striker and club captain Emanuel Emegha, who also missed the midweek win over Aberdeen and who will miss around six weeks of action, as confirmed by Liam Rosenior. 

He is the major absentee for Strasbourg, who are also without Abdoul Outtara and Maxi Oyedele. In Emegha’s absence, Joaquín Panichelli, who started the season excellently but who has since endured a barren spell, will lead the line.

However, there may not be a place in the starting XI for Ben Chilwell. Le Racing may go with a backline of Ismael Doukouré, Mamadou Sarr, and Lucas Hogsberg this afternoon.
