Sorry about answering just now. About Lopez, he won't play for sure. Gourcuff, if he plays, certainly won't begin the game I think.
The fact that Gourcuff won't be their isn't that terrible, since he has been injured since the beginning of this season. Lopez has been one of our best player so far, thus the team will miss him.
I don't really know who will replace them. Until now, Rémi Garde, our coach, has used a 4-4-2 Manchester style, with Bastos, Briand, Lopez and Gomis as offensive players. I think there are two options :
- Either Briand is replaced by Jérémy Pied, one of our young players from the training center, and he plays with Gomis as striker
- Or Lopez is directly replaced by Alexandre Lacazette, another young player, which was one of the U20 World Cup revelation, although he might be still quite weak physically.
