ASSE prepares to face the Stade de Reims for the 6th day of Ligue 2, a crucial match for the team. At a press conference, Eirik Horneland, the ASSE coach, gave news of the state of his players. Aïmen Moueffek is a package, while Mahmoud Jaber and Zuriko Davitashvili are uncertain, their participation being to be evaluated. Several players, including Irvin Cardona and Nadé, have been affected by the disease, but should be available. Dennis Appiah and Ebenezer Annan are fit after a full week of training. Horneland highlights the team’s defensive strength, but notes a certain vulnerability in the middle of the field, hoping for Jaber’s return and Moueffek’s availability for the next games.

At the same time, Setigui Karamoko, former ASSE player, will have his first title with Pau against Boulogne. After a passage through several clubs and an experience in National with Aubagne, the 25-year-old defender sees his return to Ligue 2 as an opportunity to revive his career. Karamoko, in an interview, expresses his desire to seize every opportunity and his evolution towards greater patience in the face of opportunities. He highlights the family atmosphere and the development potential of Pau’s club, which he believes is the best project for reviving his career.

Strength management is a major challenge for ASSE, especially with a busy schedule that includes three games in seven days. In addition to the absences of key players like Moueffek and Jaber, Pierre Ekwah’s situation remains uncertain. Yvann Maco and Dylan Batubinsika, despite their return to the club, are not included in the coach’s plans. Horneland insists on the importance of the physical management of the team to cope with this intense period of competition. The ASSE will have to rotate and rely on its entire workforce to achieve its objectives.
