Only one player’s fitness is a worry for ESTAC manager Patrick Kisnorbo out of an otherwise full roster, so there aren’t many personnel concerns. Due to Achilles tendon issues, Florian Tardieu is out.
Gauthier Gallon, Erik Palmer-Brown, Adil Rami, Yoann Salmier, Thierno Baldé, Lucien Agoumé, Rominigue Kouamé, Papa Ndiaga Yade, Rony Lopes, Wilson Odobert, and Mama Baldé will start the first half for ESTAC in a likely 3-4-2-1 configuration.
