Still heavy for US Orleans. After having drawn a draw with invincible Annecy residents, Franck L’Hostis and his teammates are rubbing shoulders this Saturday for the 24th day of Nationalat the Source stadium, to another member of the top 5: the FC Villefranche-Beaujolais. Faced with Rhodaniens still candidates for the climb, the USO will once again have to do without his playing master Hicham Benkaïdand also do without the services of the midfielder Loic Goujon, suspended for an accumulation of yellow cards.

Xavier Collin calls on a group of 17 players. We note the return of the central defender Cedric Yamberewhich should not start the meeting, especially as the Seba-Saint Ruf-Mambo trio worked wonderfully in Annecy. “We’ll see with him, but it could be premature to put him back on the field, in any case it’s a good thing to get him back, especially for the matches that are going to come.“, confirmed the Orleans coach.

Jimmy Halby-Toure, absent from the match sheet in Haute-Savoie because he was reduced by a hamstring injury, could find his place on the Orleans right wing. “It’s still just for Jimmy, but he’s just done the last two training sessions, we’ll make a decision at the last moment, but he’s available to the group and that’s a very good thing.“Explains Xavier Collin.

Finally, the surprise comes from the presence of Fabien Karl. Discarded since the winter break, the 21-year-old striker is currently on fire with the reserve team in N3, with in particular a very good performance against Vierzon (3-1 victory). The former Nancy player takes advantage of theunavailability of Timothé Nkadastill injured and reinforces the USO offensive line alongsideEsteban Lepaul, Ibrahim Sangare and Mohamed Cisse.

In the first leg, in September 2021, the Orleans, quickly reduced to 10, lost 1-0.
