Le Havre AC manages injuries and international absences ahead of Lille match

Le Havre AC is preparing for their upcoming Ligue 1 match against LOSC Lille amidst a period of squad fluctuations during the international break. The club has seen the return of defender Stéphan Zagadou to training following a cruciate ligament injury, though his availability for the October 10 fixture remains uncertain.

However, the squad remains depleted. Four players—Lionel Mpasi, Timothée Pembélé, Amir Richardson, and Félix Mambimbi—are currently sidelined with injuries. Additionally, four international players, including Ahmed Touba, have joined their respective national teams.

Despite these absences, Ahmed Touba has emerged as a standout performer for Le Havre. Since joining on loan from Panathinaikos, the Algerian defender has become a key figure in the defense. Statistical data from Squawka indicates that Touba currently leads Ligue 1 in interceptions with 13 successful plays and ranks sixth in the league for clearances with 31.
