Brest will have to do without its best player of the season. Present this Friday at a press conference before the reception of Reims this evening, the coach of the Breton club learned some bad news. “For Pierre (Lees-Melou), the news is less good. End of season marked for him, he suffered a fractured fibula, he will be operated on during the week. It’s hard for him and for the group, he has all our support. We hope that he will be fit to resume this summer,” declared Eric Roy.
The midfielder was forced to give up his place last weekend against Nantes (0-0) quite early in the match – in the 28th minute -. Stade Brestois, currently third in the championship, will have to ensure its qualification for the next Champions League without its playing master.
