Eirik Horneland, who took up the post after the winter break on AS Saint-Étienne's bench, already knows he can rely on two players with good statistics, not to mention Eirik Horneland.
Eirik Horneland will face his first real test off the ASSE bench this Saturday against Stade de Reims at Geoffroy-Guichard (5pm). To achieve this, the new Greens coach will be without the injured Ivan Mason, Ben Old, Ibrahima Wazi and Thomas Monconduit. Younis Abdelhamid and Ibrahim Sissoko are suspended for the 16th match in Ligue 1, while it is unclear whether Matisse Amugu, who suffered a calf injury, will play. To console himself, Horneland can always say that he can count on two unexpected giants in his team – the same Abdelhamid and Mickaël Nadé.
Nadé and Abdelhamid act as leaders
According to figures presented by Opta, only Auxerrois Jubal (29), Nantais Douglas (25), Angevin Jordan Lefort (25) and Lensois Kévin Danso (23) have actually blocked more balls this L1 season as Moroccans from ASSE . 22), tied with former Reims teammate Emmanuel Agbadou. Nade, who is expected to return to the Saint-Etienne group after suffering physical problems at the end of 2024, is the best tackler in L1 this season, along with Monegasque Mohamed Salisu. The two have been 100% successful in their attempts in this field since last August.
