M’Vila fit for Saint Etienne clash

A brief injury doubt after he had to leave training early on Wednesday and missed the Thursday session, Yann M’Vila is finally included in Frédéric Antonetti’s eighteen men squad to face the AS Saint-Étienne on Saturday evening (19:00, Route de Lorient)

Just like last week, Marveaux will miss the game due to an adductors injury, while Tettey and Apam are still not ready to come back. Having undergone surgery on Thursday, Lemoine will be replaced by Doumbia. The only change compared to the squad that went to beat Nancy last Saturday.
