Stade Brestois are without Bradley Locko and Kamory Doumbia as they prepare to host RC Lens on Friday night.

Doumbia misses out on this game due to an adductor injury, whilst Locko is out with a thigh injury. It is hoped that the former can return in the coming days, however, the latter’s season could well be over. Brest must also contend with the absence of Rémy Labeau Lascary. The forward is at Les Ty-Zéfs on loan from Lens. There is an agreement in his loan deal that he will not face his parent club.

There is, however, better news in the form of Mama Baldé, who hasn’t started a game for Brest since 4th January. He may not start here either, but he is available.

Grégoire Coudert; Daouda Guindo, Junior Diaz, Brendan Chardonnet, Kenny Lala; Joris Chotard, Hugo Magnetti; Pathé Mboup, Éric Junior Dina Ebimbe, Romain Del Castillo; Ludovic Ajorque. (L’Éq)
