Rassoul Ndiaye
LEH
Won't be available Saturday
Ndiaye (groin) won't be an option for Saturday's clash against Angers, according to coach Didier Digard, per Clement Lesage of Paris Normandie Sport.
Analysis: Ndiaye had started all three games of Le Havre this season, taking on set piece duties and contributing six shots along with 28 crosses and 12 corners. His absence for this match is a setback to monitor, and further clarity on the reason should emerge as Le Havre continues its season. Kaito Mizuta should get a larger role in his absence.
Five corners in away draw
Ndiaye registered one shot (one on goal), seven crosses (zero accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Lyon.
Analysis: Ndiaye took five corners as he made a total of seven cross attempts as Le Havre drew 1-1 away to Lyon. The midfielder has played 90 minutes in each game so far this season and he added another shot to bring him to four after two matches and he also put his first shot on target in this game. The attacking midfielder created two chances, but was unable to complete a cross and retains his role as the main set-piece taker for Le Havre.
Registers most crosses
Ndiaye recorded three shots (zero on goal), 13 crosses (one accurate) and five corners in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Monaco.
Analysis: Ndiaye registered the most crosses in the game and created a chance. He recorded 43 passes and also contributed defensively with four tackles, one interception and one block. He was a constant presence throughout the last campaign with 33 appearances and he will play a big role in the upcoming season.
Option for Marseille clash
Ndiaye (thigh) is available for Sunday's clash against Marseille, according to coach Didier Digard, per FOOT NORMAND.
Analysis: Ndiaye had been ruled out of last weekend's fixture against Lille with the thigh issue, but his recovery in time for the final fixture of the season is a welcome development for Le Havre. The forward should push back into the lineup against Marseille, with Simon Ebonog having covered during his absence.
Suffers thigh injury
Ndiaye is unlikely to be available for Sunday's clash against Lille after picking up a thigh injury, according to coach Didier Digard, per Foot Normand.
Analysis: Ndiaye's potential absence is an untimely blow for Le Havre heading into a difficult away fixture at Lille, with no specific details provided on the severity of the issue. Simon Ebonog is expected to take on a larger role for the Ciel et Marine if Ndiaye had to miss the clash against the Dogues.
Starting Sunday
Ndiaye (foot) is in the starting XI for Sunday's clash with Metz.
Analysis: Ndiaye is back in the starting XI for Sunday's clash. The midfielder was a heavy doubt coming into the match with a foot issue, but it appears he was able to overcome the problem. He's now back fit and available for Sunday's match.
Late call against Metz
Ndiaye picked up a foot knock and is a late call for Sunday's clash against Metz, according to FOOT NORMAND.
Analysis: Ndiaye's availability will be determined closer to kickoff, with the club assessing his condition before making a final squad decision. If he cannot be cleared in time, Yassine Kechta is expected to step in as his replacement against the Grenats in what is a signigicant fixture for Le Havre heading into the final stretch of the season.
