Thomas Touré’s absence from Bordeaux’s match against Metz on Ligue 1’s 34th matchday is a setback for the Girondins, especially with the team’s goal of securing a European spot next season. His ankle pain has led coach Willy Sagnol to rest him, although the hope is that he will return to finish the season strong.
Additionally, Grégory Sertic‘s groin strain and Kiese Thelin being rested further depletes Bordeaux’s squad, but with their current 6th-place position, the team will need to push through with their remaining key players.
On the other hand, Metz’s battle to avoid relegation continues, and they will be looking to capitalize on any opportunity to secure points against Bordeaux, despite being in a tough position.
This match could be crucial for both teams’ ambitions — Bordeaux’s European dream and Metz’s survival.
Do you think Bordeaux will be able to secure their European spot despite these absences? And what are your thoughts on Metz’s relegation battle?
