Agassa Kossi Out for Reims’ Match Against Lorient Due to Thigh Injury
Reims goalkeeper Agassa Kossi will miss the home game against Lorient on Saturday in Ligue 1 due to a right thigh injury. The Togolese international, who was replaced during the third matchday against Nantes, also missed Togo’s match in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers earlier this month due to the same issue.
With Agassa sidelined, Reims coach Olivier Guégan has opted to start John Placide in goal for the upcoming fixture.
Here’s the Reims squad for the match against Lorient:
Goalkeepers: Garel, Placide
Defenders: Conte, Fofana, Mandi, Signorino, Tacalfred, Turan, Weber
Midfielders: Bulot, Devaux, Mfulu, Oniangue, Peuget
Forwards: Charbonnier, De Preville, Kyei, Ngog, Siebatcheu
Reims will be hoping to secure a positive result at home, despite the absence of their first-choice goalkeeper.
