Brest predicted XI v Sparta Prague: Abdallah Sima out, Pierre Lees-Melou to start | OneFootball

Abdallah Sima will miss Stade Brestois’ visit to face Sparta Prague on Wednesday with the striker suffering from a hamstring injury.

Brest head to Czechia looking to extend their unbeaten run in the UEFA Champions League, however, if they are to do so, they must do so without one of their key forwards. Sima is suffering from a hamstring injury, and whilst he is recovering well, Eric Roy confirmed that the game comes too soon for the striker.

Ludovic Ajorque will therefore lead the line, whilst Mama Baldé will start out on the left. Romain Faivre will have to settle for a place on the bench. Pierre Lees-Melou, still re-finding his rhythm following his return from a major injury, will start once again in the midfielder for Les Pirates.
