Mostafa Mohamed could be dropped when FC Nantes travel to face Paris FC on Friday night, as per L’Équipe. The Egyptian has struggled for form at the start of the campaign.

Mohamed has been occupying the central role with Matthis Abline playing largely off the left, however, that could change in Paris tonight, with Mohamed potentially dropping to the bench, allowing Abline to occupy the No.9 role. 

Luís Castro remains without two key players in midfield, with both Francis Coquelin and Johann Lepenant missing out through injury for Les Canaris. It means that it will be a depleted midfield and one potentially not including Louis Leroux, who could start at left-back. Kelvin Amian will start on the opposite side of the defence and will captain the team.
