Major blow for JSK ahead of the return leg against US Monastir

JS Kabylie have suffered a major setback ahead of the return leg against US Monastir. Two undisputed starters, Arthur Bada and Mehdi Merghem, will not make the trip due to injuries sustained in training. A significant loss for the Kabyle club, which will have to cope without two key players in what is a crucial CAF Champions League encounter.

Despite this setback, JSK approach the second leg with a comfortable lead after their emphatic 3-0 victory in Sfax in the first match. Coach Josef Zinnbauer will nevertheless have to rethink his midfield and attacking setup, as both absentees are central to the team's usual gameplan.

This two-legged tie against Monastir comes just before the group stage draw, scheduled for November 3rd in Johannesburg. Kabyle supporters hope their team will clear this hurdle with ease and secure a place among Africa's elite, despite these unexpected blows.
