Gary O’Neil will not welcome back any of his big-name absentees for Thursday night’s UEFA Europa Conference League game between RC Strasbourg Alsace and HNK Rijeka.
Diego Moreira and Emanuel Emegha are the two most considerable absentees and whilst both are expected back in the coming weeks, it is unlikely that they will be seen before the upcoming international break.
In Moreira’s place, Abdoul Ouattara is expected to be given the nod on the right, ahead of Gessime Yassine, despite the latter impressing in the Coupe de France recently. Aaron Anselmino also remains sidelined with a muscular injury, whilst Maxi Oyedele is once again unavailable for Strasbourg.
As always, Joaquin Panichelli will lead the line with Julio Enciso in the No.10 role for Le Racing.
