Brest predicted XI v Le Havre: Abdallah Sima out, Pierre Lees-Melou returns
For the first time since the start of May, Pierre Lees-Melou has been included in the Stade Brestois squad, although he is not expected to start against Le Havre AC on Sunday.
The 31-year-old midfielder suffered a stress fracture in his foot towards the end of last season. It had been hoped that the key man would be ready for the start of the campaign for Brest, however, that was not the case. He does now return to the squad although it is highly unlikely that he will start.
Abdallah Sima, author of a memorable performance in the UEFA Champions League in midweek, is absent. No reason has been provided for his absence from the matchday squad as of now. It is Ludovic Ajorque who will start up front for Brest, with Mama Baldé out on the right and Mathias Pereira Lage on the left.
