Reims predicted XI v OGC Nice: Gabriel Moscardo absent | OneFootball

Gabriel Moscardo, on international duty with the Brazilian youth team will miss Stade de Reims’ match against OGC Nice on Saturday evening.

The Brazilian has struggled for game time since making the move to Reims on loan from Paris Saint-Germain. However, his absence does deplete Reims’ options in the midfield. Reda Khadra and Amadou Koné are also absent in this sector of the pitch. It means that Teddy Teuma, a player with whom manager Luka Elsner reportedly has a tense relationship, is set to start. He will play Valentin Atangana and Marshall Munetsi in the midfield.

This week, Emmanuel Agbadou completed a big-money move to Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers. Joseph Okumu and Cedric Kipré now looks to be the first-choice pairing in the centre of defence for Reims.
