Girondins de Bordeaux Squad vs Toulouse: André Poko Returns, Defensive Woes for Sagnol
Ahead of their Ligue 1 clash against Toulouse, Girondins de Bordeaux welcome back André Poko, the Gabonese midfielder who missed the last two games due to suspension picked up during the match against Paris Saint-Germain.
However, head coach Willy Sagnol, already under media fire for his controversial remarks on African players, faces a defensive crisis. Bordeaux will be without several key players, including Senegalese internationals Lamine Sané and Henri Saivet, as well as Jussiê, Thiago Ilori, and Théo Pellenard.
🟦 Bordeaux Squad to Face Toulouse:
Goalkeepers:
Cédric Carrasso
Jérôme Prior
Defenders:
Mariano
Nicolas Pallois
Marc Planus
Diego Contento
Julien Faubert
Maxime Poundjé
Cédric Yambéré
Midfielders:
Abdou Traoré
André Poko
Zaydou Youssouf Kaabouni
Grégory Sertic
Jaroslav Plašil
Wahbi Khazri
Forwards:
Cheick Diabaté
Diego Rolan
Emiliano Sala
Thomas Touré
Despite the defensive absences, the return of Poko should provide Sagnol with added energy in midfield as Bordeaux look to bounce back and stay in contention near the top of the Ligue 1 table.
