As the match between the Racing Club of Strasbourg and the AS Saint-Étienne approached, Liam Rosenior could align the same eleven starting lines as the one that was titularized against the AS Monaco last week. With a hoped-for Jean-Eudes Aholou restored after his mild illness at the beginning of the week and a Habib Diallo on his way to recovery after his ankle injury, the Strasbourg coach could renew a training that showed promising signs. However, it remains to be seen whether the infirmary will confirm this good news for this crucial appointment at the Meinau.
