Bordeaux is set to play its Coupe de France round of 16 final against a team from Ile de Rousse in Corsica, but the Gironde squad will be without some key players. One notable absence is Cameroonian midfielder Landry NGuemo, who will miss the match because his wife is giving birth, as revealed by coach Francis Gillot in a press conference.
Another significant absentee is Malian striker Cheikh Diabaté, who is still dealing with an injury and is expected to be sidelined for an additional three weeks. Additionally, new recruit Guillaume Hoarau is unavailable due to thigh pain.
The squad for the match includes players like Carrasso, Olimpa, Bréchet, Chalmé, Faubert, Henrique, Mariano, Orban, Sané, Ben Khalfallah, Maurice-Belay, Obraniak, Poko, Rolan, Sertic, Bellion, Saivet, Crivelli, along with those from CFA such as Jug, Kaabouni, Poundjé, Traoré, and Savic.
Injured players include Jussiê, Diabaté, Planus, and Hoarau, while NGuemo will be absent due to paternity reasons.
