Le Havre predicted XI v Lyon: Oussama Targhalline and Yassine Kechta to feature in young midfield | OneFootball

Le Havre AC will look to continue their impressive return to the top flight into the new year as they host Olympique Lyonnais. However, they will be doing so without André Ayew, Mohamed Bayo, and Abdoulaye Touré.

Each of those three will be representing their national sides at the Africa Cup of Nations. Touré will be a significant loss for Le Club Doyen as the midfielder has featured in every single game for the team. In his place, the inexperienced Oussama Targhalline will likely start.

There are more issues for Le Havre with discipline as the team have wracked up three red cards in their last six games. Rassoul Ndiaye recorded their latest in the last game before the winter’s break, meaning the midfielder will subsequently be unavailable for this match, which could see Yassine Kechta once again relied upon.
