Out since the start of February with a knee injury, Romain Del Castillo is still not in contention to feature for Stade Brestois as they host SCO Angers on Sunday. 

The winger remains absent and has not been included in Brest’s matchday squad. Soumaïla Coulibaly also remains sidelined for Eric Roy’s side, as does Ibrahim Salah. The latter is expected to be out until the end of the campaign. Mama Baldé also misses out, which somewhat limits Les Ty-Zéfs options in attack this afternoon. 

Mathias Pereira Lage is expected to play on the right, the position usually occupied by Del Castillo. Ludovic Ajorque will play through the middle and Abdallah Sima out left. Romain Faivre will have to settle for a place on the bench.
