After a very delicate end of the year, Nantes
Reasures health. Antoine Kombouaré's team has given air in the standings by lasting a good series of invincibility since the Canaries have still not experienced the championship defeat since the beginning of 2025.
The last success on the lawn of Reims (2-1), faced with a direct competitor, strengthened confidence and confirmed the return in the form of certain elements. With Moses Simon and Abline, Nantes already had two notable offensive weapons in his maintenance mission. The renewal of the Egyptian Mostafa Mohamed is a boon for Antoine Kombouaré, who will have the luxury of having an additional solution with the recruit Meschack Elia.
Nantes is of attack
“” Meschack Elia is ready. He is an attacker who has qualities of speed, percussion, capable of scoring, who can play all over the front of the attack. He is a complete, quality player, who will come to help us because we were reduced from the departures of Ignatius Ganago and the injury of Tino Kadewere“Explained Antoine Kombouaré.
Will the FCN coach start his reinforcement or will he bet on continuity so as not to break the balance of his group? It will be one of the challenges of this derby against Brest, where Kombouaré's choices for the attack will be scrutinized. On the other hand, there will be no surprise for the other important recruit of winter, Francis Coquelin, who will have to wait. “” Francis (Coquelin), it's a little more complicated, he did not play for six months, he finds his canes, but it will take time for him to be 100 %ready. We look at how he swallows the sessions, how he recovers, how he crosses the steps because you should not go too fast either, it must not be injured. So we see how he is gaining power very slowly ”, Concluded Antoine Kombouaré.
