It seems that Sidney Govou, the striker of Evian-Thonon-Gaillard, is not part of the team for the upcoming match against Lorient FC. He has been dismissed by the coach, Pascal Dupraz, and will be left at the disposal of CFA 2, which is a level below Ligue 1.
Pascal Dupraz justified his decision by expressing the hope that Govou would be able to accumulate more playing time in CFA 2, where he could potentially have longer stints on the field compared to the shorter appearances he has been making for Evian-Thonon-Gaillard.
The information provided also gives some statistics about Govou’s performance in the current season, stating that he has played 15 league matches, with 5 of them as a starter, accumulating a total of 528 minutes of play. It’s not uncommon for coaches to make decisions based on the team’s performance, tactical considerations, and the need to give players more playing time to maintain their form.
