Brest, double thunderbolt before the Champions League

Busy day for Stade Brestois between the announced arrival of Romain Faivre and the serious injury of Bradley Locko.

Big and tough day for Stade Brestois. On the eve of the resumption of Ligue 1, and its first shock of the season against Olympique de Marseille, the Breton club recorded two major news.

The first was expected since Thursday: the return of Romain Faivre. The 26-year-old French winger had revealed himself in the Brest colors a few years ago before being sold to Lyon for 15 million euros, in January 2022. Transferred subsequently to Bournemouth, the former Monaco player had been loaned to Lorient last season, and returns to Brittany to try to relaunch.

Locko seriously injured

Unfortunately, a blow fell on the SB29 with the serious injury in training of Bradley Locko. The 22-year-old left-back suffers from a ruptured Achilles tendon, according to journalist Mohamed Bezzouaoui, and will be absent for many months. This is a huge blow for Eric Roy who, after the departures of Lilian Brassier and Steve Mounié, loses another key player from last season. Very bad news before discovering the Champions League.
