Strasbourg Predicted Lineup for Europa Conference League Clash with Rijeka RC Strasbourg Alsace will field a modified lineup for their UEFA Europa Conference League match against HNK Rijeka on Thursday, as key players remain sidelined. Manager Gary O’Neil has confirmed that neither Diego Moreira nor Emanuel Emegha will return to the squad for the encounter, despite both being expected to recover in the coming weeks. The absence of these two central figures means the team will have to rely on alternative options to maintain their attacking threat. Moreira’s absence sees Abdoul Ouattara stepping into the right-wing role, despite Gessime Yassine’s recent strong performance in the Coupe de France. Yassine is likely to be positioned behind Ouattara, though his inclusion in the matchday squad remains uncertain. Meanwhile, Aaron Anselmino continues to miss out due to a muscular injury, while Maxi Oyedele is again ruled out of the squad. These absences will test the depth of Strasbourg’s squad, particularly in the midfield and attacking positions. The team’s attacking options are expected to remain largely unchanged, with Joaquin Panichelli leading the line and Julio Enciso operating as the No.10. The midfield trio of Samir El Mourabet, Valentin Barco, and Martial Godo is likely to form the core of the team’s playmaking, supported by the defensive partnership of Ben Chilwell, Ismael Doukouré, and Andrew Omobamidele. Goalkeeper Mike Penders is set to start, with Guéla Doué providing cover in goal. The lineup, as outlined by L’Éq, includes the following: Mike Penders; Ben Chilwell, Ismael Doukouré, Andrew Omobamidele, Guéla Doué; Samir El Mourabet, Valentin Barco; Martial Godo, Julio Enciso, Abdoul Ouattara; Joaquin Panichelli.#gary_oneil #hnk_rijeka #rc_strasbourg_alsace #abdoul_ouattara #joaquin_panichelli
