Junior Mwanga
LEH
Ultimately available
Mwanga (groin) is ultimately available for Saturday's clash against Toulouse, according to the club.
Analysis: Mwanga had been a doubt after returning from suspension while also dealing with a groin issue, but his confirmed availability now resolves that uncertainty. He should be back in the starting XI for Le Havre after missing the match against Angers due to the red card suspension picked up against Brest.
Dealing with groin issue
Mwanga is back from suspension but a doubt for Saturday's clash against Toulouse due to a groin issue, according to coach Didier Digard, per FOOT NORMAND.
Analysis: Mwanga had missed the match against Angers due to a straight red card suspension picked up against Brest, and while that ban is now served, this new fitness concern introduces fresh uncertainty over his return. His status will continue to be assessed as Le Havre approaches the match.
Available after suspension
Mwanga is available for selection again after serving his suspension following the straight red card he received against Brest.
Analysis: Mwanga missed the clash against Angers through suspension but is now eligible to return to the lineup. The defender had been involved regularly before his dismissal against Brest, putting him in contention to immediately reclaim a role in the back line against Toulouse.
Sees red card Saturday
Mwanga was sent off Saturday against Brest after receiving a straight red in the 42nd minute.
Analysis: Mwanga was sent off late in the first half, so Le Havre's road to a comeback is even steeper now. The defender will miss the match against Angers next Saturday, and if the suspension isn't increased, he'd be able to return to face Toulouse on Saturday, Sept. 19.
Signs for Le Havre
Mwanga has left Strasbourg to sign a four-year deal with Le Havre, the club announced.
Analysis: Mwanga joined Strasbourg from Girondins de Bordeaux in summer 2023 but made just 42 appearances there, spending stretches out on loan at Nantes and Le Havre rather than establishing himself in the first team. His loan spell at Le Havre stood out in particular. He arrived in January 2025 and became a key contributor to the club's survival push that season, with Le Havre previously calling it one of their best loan pickups. He now returns permanently as a first-team midfielder rather than parent-club property, giving Le Havre a player already familiar with the squad and the physicality of Ligue 1.
