Strasbourg’s Anticipated Starting XI vs Reims: Captain Diarra Back in Action

Following their impressive 4-2 victory over Lyon last week, Strasbourg is set to face Reims at the Stade Auguste-Delaune. A win could propel Strasbourg from 7th to 4th place, boosting their Champions League aspirations.

Manager Liam Rosenior welcomes back captain Habib Diarra to the midfield, partnering with Chelsea loanee Andrey Santos. Valentín Barco is expected to return to his defensive role on the left after recent midfield appearances.

Diego Moreira, who filled in at left-back last match, is likely to move to a more attacking winger position. This shift may result in Sebastian Nanasi starting on the bench for this fixture.

Strasbourg’s Projected Lineup Against Reims:

Djordje Petrovic; Valentín Barco, Ismaël Doukouré, Mamadou Sarr, Guéla Doué; Habib Diarra, Andrey Santos; Diego Moreira, Félix Lemaréchal, Dilane Bakwa; Emanuel Emegha.
