Valenciennes’ season is coming to a rather disappointing end as they face AS Monaco in their final home game of the Ligue 1 season. Having been relegated and experiencing defeats in their last five matches, it’s been a challenging period for the club.
For this crucial match, Valenciennes will be missing several key players. Ariel Jacobs, the manager, won’t have the services of Franco-Togolese Dossevi, Bahebeck due to illness, and M.Traoré who is recovering from an injury. However, there is some good news as Doumbia returns to the squad. One of the standout performers for Valenciennes in the latter part of the season has been the Ghanaian striker Waris, who will be available for selection.
Having secured only one point from the last 21 available, Valenciennes’ relegation to Ligue 2 is confirmed. The team’s recent form made it impossible for them to avoid the drop.
Valenciennes squad:
- Goalkeepers: Novaes, Penneteau
- Defenders: Ciss, Kagelmacher, Lala, Masuaku, Mater, Medjani, Rose
- Midfielders: Camara, Da Silva, Doumbia, Ducourtioux, Enza-Yamissi, Melikson
- Forwards: Le Tallec, Pujol, Waris
Injured: Dossevi, Nguette, Bahebeck, M.Traoré
