Reims Prepares for Crucial Clash with Strasbourg

Stade de Reims finds itself in a precarious position this season. Despite reaching the Coupe de France final, the club’s league performance has been disappointing, leaving them just two points above the relegation playoff zone.

Manager Samba Diawara faces significant challenges due to injuries, with several key players unavailable for selection. The list of sidelined players includes Mohamed Daramy, Reda Khadra, Mamadou Diakhon, Yaya Fofana, Abdoul Koné, and on-loan Gabriel Moscardo from Paris Saint-Germain.

Team captain Teddy Teuma is expected to remain on the bench, having fallen out of favor this season. Speculation suggests he may depart the club at the end of the current campaign. Young striker Hafiz Umar Ibrahim is likely to lead the attack, supported by wingers Keito Nakamura and Junya Ito.

Anticipated Reims Starting Lineup

Yehvann Diouf; Sergio Akieme, Cédric Kipré, Joseph Okumu, Aurélio Buta; Amadou Koné, Mory Gbane, Valentin Atangana; Keito Nakamura, Hafiz Umar Ibrahim, Junya Ito.
