Reims Prepares for Crucial Match Against Marseille with Key Player Returns

Stade de Reims is set to face a formidable opponent in Olympique de Marseille this Saturday evening. The team’s preparations have been bolstered by the anticipated return of Teddy Teuma, who was absent from the previous matchday squad. However, it remains uncertain whether Teuma will be included in the starting lineup.

Currently positioned precariously close to the relegation zone, Reims continues to grapple with player absences. Notable absentees include Mohamed Daramy, Reda Khadra, and Paris Saint-Germain loanee Gabriel Moscardo. On a more positive note, manager Samba Diawara is hopeful about the availability of the Japanese contingent – Keito Nakamura, Junya Ito, and Hiroki Sekine – who have recently returned from international duty. While Nakamura, the team’s top scorer this season, and Sekine are likely to start, Ito may have to settle for a spot on the bench.

Reims’ Probable Starting XI Against Marseille:

Yehvann Diouf; Sergio Akieme, Cédric Kipré, Joesph Okumu, Hiroki Sekine; Amadou Koné, Mory Gbane, Valentin Atangana; Keito Nakamura, Ibrahim Hafiz Umar, Mamadou Diakhon.

As Reims prepares for this crucial match, the team’s performance will be critical in their efforts to distance themselves from the relegation zone and secure their position in the league.
