No longer banned
Omobamidele is back in contention following a card accumulation ban.
Analysis: Omobamidele has been a center-back option throughout the campaign, even though he had dropped to a substitute role in the latest three games before his suspension. He'll try to improve on his averages of 2.7 clearances and 0.7 interceptions per match if he's eventually preferred over either Ismael Landry Doukoure or Lucas Hogsberg.
Suspended one game
Omobamidele (suspension) has accumulated five yellow cards in French competitions and will serve a one-match ban for Sunday's clash against Angers, according to the league.
Analysis: Omobamidele's absence is a limited blow for Strasbourg given his rotation role in the squad, with Lucas Hogsberg expected to take on a larger role in the back line in his place. The club has enough defensive cover to manage without him for the final fixture, and Omobamidele will be available again for any subsequent fixtures once the suspension is served.
First league goal seals win
Omobamidele scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 3-2 win versus Lorient.
Analysis: Omobamidele came off the bench and scored a last minute winner for his first goal of the season in an impactful cameo, with that strike being only his third shot across 22 appearances and 11 starts in the league this season.
