Metz Faces Key Fixture Against CA Bastia Amid Injury Concerns
FC Metz will look to take another significant step towards securing promotion to Ligue 1 when they face bottom-placed CA Bastia in a crucial Ligue 2 fixture this Friday. However, the Grenats could be without two of their key players, with both Diafra Sakho and Romain Métanire facing fitness concerns ahead of the match.
Sakho, the Senegalese forward who has been a standout performer for Metz this season, is currently struggling with knee pain. The 30-year-old underwent an MRI scan on Thursday afternoon to assess the extent of the injury, with the results potentially determining whether he will be available for the game against the Corsican side.
In addition to Sakho’s potential absence, Romain Métanire, the club’s versatile full-back, is also a doubt for the upcoming clash. The loss of both players would be a blow for Metz as they look to maintain their push for promotion.
With the team currently in a strong position to move up to Ligue 1, this match represents a vital opportunity to further cement their place in the promotion race, but they will have to overcome these injury challenges to secure the three points.
