  • The transfer window could be more agitated than expected at RC Strasbourg. Faced with numerous injuries in the offensive sector, an attacker could arrive this winter.
  • What if it was the former Lorient and Nantais Majeed Waris? Thierry Laurey responds.
  • Departures could also take place. We take stock.

The winter transfer window could be more hectic than expected in Strasbourg. The fault of two new injuries affecting the Alsatian workforce. Touched at the psoas against Saint-Etienne (2-1) just before the break, Lebo Mothiba should be absent "a few weeks", according to Thierry Laurey. The Racing coach will also be deprived of Nuno Da Costa this Saturday in the Coupe de France in Calais (Pas-de-Calais), facing Portel (National 3). The Cape Verdean was hit in the knee "in training this week" and its duration of unavailability is not yet known.

With their packages, the attacking sector is clearly reduced. It even comes down to Ludovic Ajorque and Kévin Zohi since the young Yvann Botella is also hit in the foot. Is it enough to chain the potential six games in January if qualified in the two cups? "For this week, it will do the trick but after ... It will really be necessary that we have no more injured," replied this Friday Thierry Laurey, opening the door to an arrival during the winter transfer window. “An attacking player, perhaps. "

What if it was Waris?

"Depending on the opportunities there are, we may move. There are various reflections that are being carried out today. We will see how we can adapt to this situation, "he continued, before nuancing. "We are not going to make a player to make a player. We have to have opportunities and it has to fall into our ropes. "

Could this reinforcement be Majeed Waris? The Ghanaian, in check at FC Porto, has been regularly associated with the Alsatian club in recent weeks. In L'Equipe , his agent even defined a return to France this winter as a "priority". Response from Thierry Laurey: “It was not I who told you about Waris, so I have no reason to tell you about it! "

Corgnet "did not ask to leave"

In the direction of departures, the president of RC Strasbourg, Marc Keller, said in the Latest News from Alsace , that there could also be some movement. "There could be maybe a start or two, for players who play a little less," he said without citing names. He could refer to Nuno Da Costa, Lionel Carole or even Benjamin Corgnet. Asked about it on Friday, he said he had "not asked to leave" this winter. “But it doesn't necessarily depend on me either […] I only have six months left on the contract, everyone is aware of this situation. "

As for the most highly rated players in the squad, the young Mohamed Simakan, Youssouf Fofana and Anthony Caci, none should move. Unless there is a fantastic offer, which Marc Keller suggested in the regional daily. "If there really is an important proposition, for us and for the player, we will study it. "
