The Bordeaux coach, Francis Gillot, has decided not to include Cheick Diabaté in the lineup for the Europa League match against Maccabi Tel-Aviv. Diabaté, who is slightly injured in the knee, did not make the list of 18 players for the game. Instead, Gillot chose to rest the Malian international, considering the upcoming league match against Sochaux on Sunday. The Bordeaux team is expected to be significantly reshuffled for the Europa League clash. The 18-player squad includes Olimpa, Jug, Chalmé, Planus, Bréchet, Poundjé, Sané, Savic, Traoré, Ben Khalfallah, Nguemo, Maurice-Belay, Obraniak, Jussiê, Rolan, Saivet, Sacko, and Bellion.
