FC Nantes is preparing to face Olympique Lyonnais this Sunday at 3 PM, but must deal with a series of absences, including that of Jean-Charles Castelletto, their central defender. This situation could weigh heavily on the Canaries’ chances in this crucial match.
Sanction of Jean-Charles Castelletto
Jean-Charles Castelletto will not be on the field for this match against OL. Indeed, the defender has been sanctioned by his club, following an inappropriate reaction to a remark from his coach, Antoine Kombouaré, after the draw against Saint-Étienne (2-2). This reaction led the club to take disciplinary measures, relegating him to the reserve team that plays in National 3.
It is worth recalling that Castelletto has already experienced difficult moments on the field, having caused the penalty that led to Saint-Étienne’s equalizer. His absence would therefore be a severe blow to Nantes’ defense, especially as the team must cope with other missing players.
Other notable absences in the team
FC Nantes will also have to manage without Marcus Coco, suspended for this match, as well as Johann Lepenant, whose absence is due to an agreement between his lending club, OL, and the Canaries. These two absences add to a list that is already worrying for the supporters of the team.
Moreover, the club is facing physical uncertainties regarding other key players, notably Jean-Kévin Duverne, a defender, and Tino Kadewere. These absences may affect the overall performance of the team and its ability to compete with an Olympique Lyonnais that seems determined to continue its strong momentum.
In summary, FC Nantes finds itself in a delicate situation before this decisive match, and the absence of Jean-Charles Castelletto only amplifies the challenges the team must overcome on the field.
