Lorient, coming off a much-needed victory against Saint-Etienne, aims to build on their success as they face Sochaux away from home in the 29th day of Ligue 1. However, they will have to navigate the match without their key striker Vincent Aboubakar, who is sidelined due to knee inflammation. On a positive note, defender Lamine Koné returns to the squad after recovering from a thigh issue.
Christian Gourcuff’s side will look to improve their away form, having secured just one point in their last five trips. With a balanced squad including experienced players like Audard, Ecuele Manga, and Aliadière, as well as promising talents like Monnet-Paquet and Doukouré, Lorient will aim to secure another valuable victory against Sochaux. Here is the complete Lorient squad for the upcoming match:
Goalkeepers: Audard, Chaigneau Defenders: Baca, Lautoa, Ecuele Manga, L.Koné, Gassama, Pedrinho Midfielders: Abdullah, Monnet-Paquet, Doukouré, Bourillon, Jouffre, Traoré, Diallo, Reale, Coutadeur Forwards: Aliadière, Robert
