FC Nantes, featuring Togolese player Serge Gakpé, faces a challenging situation as they prepare for the 6th day of Ligue 1 against Lyon. The club will be significantly depleted as six players, including Veigneau, Nicolita, Cichero, Pancrate, Audel, and possibly Bedoya, are ruled out due to injuries.
The absence of key players adds to the difficulties for FC Nantes, who were promoted to Ligue 1 this season after spending several years in the lower division. The team has had a mixed start to the season, collecting 7 points in the first five days of the championship. The upcoming match against Lyon is expected to be tough for the decimated squad.
