Harold Voyer
MAN
No longer suspended
Voyer has served his suspension in the 2026/27 Ligue 1 opener and will look to return to action in upcoming contests.
Analysis: Voyer is a settled starter from Le Mans' Ligue 2 campaign last year, so he'll have a strong chance to have his role restored after Rayan Bamba and Theo Eyoum covered defensive duties while he was out. The experienced defender will likely get involved mainly in clearance and ball recovery work, with clean sheets more difficult to obtain for a newly promoted side.
Suspended for Ligue 1 opener
Voyer will have to wait to make his Ligue 1 debut for Le Mans as he is suspended for the season opener against Brest on August 22 due to yellow cards accumulation dating from last season, according to the league.
Analysis: Voyer made 26 league appearances, including 21 starts, last season and scored a goal at Troyes to help Le Mans return to the top flight. He recently signed a contract extension through 2028 and is an undisputed starter in the back line, so his absence will force some reshuffling, with Alexandre Lauray likely stepping into defense and Milan Robin potentially getting an opportunity to add an extra midfielder to the lineup.
Signs contract extension until 2028
Voyer has signed a contract extension with Le Mans until 2028, the club announced.
Analysis: Voyer joined in 2022 and has made 102 appearances across all competitions, including 26 league outings and 21 starts last season during which he also scored a goal at Troyes. Voyer has been part of both of the club's successive promotions to Ligue 2 and now Ligue 1, bringing not only defensive quality and strong distribution but a positive presence in the dressing room. He becomes the sixth player to commit to the club's Ligue 1 project.
Solid defender at Le Mans
Voyer ends the season having been a dependable and consistent presence in Le Mans's defensive unit throughout their promotion-winning campaign, contributing to the defensive solidity that underpinned the club's historic second-place finish in Ligue 2.
Analysis: Voyer brings reliability, concentration and a no-nonsense defensive approach that gives coach Patrick Videira a trusted option at the back, and his contribution to keeping Le Mans's defensive record strong across the season has been an important factor in their success. Voyer heads into Ligue 1 knowing the quality of opposition will rise sharply, but his experience and consistency make him a dependable option for the club's maiden top-flight campaign.
