FC Nantes faces a significant challenge ahead of their match against Valenciennes, with Issa Cissokho suspended and key players like Filip Djordjevic and Papy Djilobodji still out injured. The likely shift of Chaker Alhadur, a natural left-back, to the right side of defense highlights the club’s current depth issues.
While Alhadur’s versatility is a plus, the right-back role isn’t his natural position, and this could be a vulnerability that Valenciennes might look to exploit—especially with their survival hopes on the line.
