Dermane Karim Injury: Expected to return next week

Karim (knee) is expected to return at the middle of next week, coach Olivier Pantaloni said in the press conference, according to Le Telegramme.

Karim will miss a second game in a row after suffering a knee injury before the international break. The forward has been an undisputed starter for the Merlus this season, therefore his absence is forcing a change in the frontline, with Jean-Victor Makengo and Aiyegun Tosin as possible options to replace him.
