Coupe de France (16th) | The Stade de Reims further reduced to avoid falling into the Thaon trap (6.30 p.m.)

This first game of the year is strangely similar to the last of the previous year. Once again, the Stade de Reims must deplore cases of Covid in its workforce. Four players are affected and have been placed in isolation. Added to this are the injured (Adeline, Berisha, Matusiwa and Munetsi) and the 4 players who left for the African Cup of Nations (Touré and Doumbia in Mali, Cassama in Guinea and Konan in Ivory Coast) and one suspended , Andreaw Gravillon. It is therefore a young group and reduced to 17 possible elements including 3 goalkeepers that Oscar Garcia composed, with it is true the returns of Flips and Faes who could not play the last match. No reason to use this as an excuse, the 17 pros selected will start favorites against the 20 amateurs present on the Thaon-Les-Vosges scoresheet even if facing a National 3 team, it will be above all a question of not fall into the trap of the small Pierre-Sayer Stadium where the Rémois will play. A little less than 2,500 people who risk making noise and pushing their team towards the exploit. After having hardly beaten Reims Sainte-Anne in the previous round, the Rémois know that nothing will be easy.
