Alpha Touré
MTZOption for Sunday
Toure (undisclosed) is deemed fit and an option for Sunday's match against Lorient, according to manager Benoit Tavenot. "We will be without Cleo, Joseph and Ousmane. All the others are training."
Analysis: Toure is going to return Sunday after a slight absence with a knock, as the midfielder will be fit to face Lorient. This is good news for the club, as he has started in 15 of his 29 appearances this season, serving as a more defensive midfielder. He has started in two of his past three appearances, so he will hope to return to that role immediately.
Out against Monaco
Toure (knock) will miss Saturday's clash against Monaco after picking up a knock in the previous match, according to coach Benoit Tavenot.
Analysis: Toure has been in and out of the starting lineup throughout the campaign, operating primarily in a rotational capacity, which limits the immediate impact of his absence on Metz's midfield setup. Jean-Philippe Gbamin and Jessy Deminguet are expected to continue in the central midfield zone in his absence. No return timeline has been provided beyond Saturday's fixture.
