The Racing Club in Strasbourg could be deprived of its captain Habib Diarra for the game against AS Saint-Etienne this Saturday night at the Stade de la Meinau. Injured in the match against Monaco, the player was hit in the ankle, the same one who had removed him from the field for several weeks after his injury to Auxerre. This new injury revives concerns about his participation in this crucial confrontation, while Saint-Etienne arrives in Alsace with an inflated morale after his victory against Lyon. A prolonged absence from Diarra would be a real blow for the Strasbourgers, who rely on his leadership and creativity in the middle of the field. Racing’s medical staff closely follows the evolution of their injury and should communicate in the next few days about their availability. The supporters hope for a speedy recovery for their captain, indispensable in the fierce struggle for European squares.
