Mbamba, highly doubtful for Lorient’s trip to Le Mans

Noah Mbamba, the 21-year-old Lorient midfielder, is in doubt ahead of the club’s trip to Le Mans in Ligue 1.

As reported by L’Équipe, he impressed against Lens and also featured strongly in Lorient’s match versus Toulouse, but his availability for Saturday’s game against Le Mans is described as very uncertain.

With just the assessment from L’Équipe, the situation hinges on how Mbamba fares in the final hours before kick-off. Lorient’s midfield setup may need to change depending on his status.
