Toulouse predicted XI v Montpellier: Rasmus Nicolaisen out, Charlie Cresswell to start | OneFootball

Rasmus Nicolaisen is the only major absentee for Toulouse FC as they prepare for the derby against Montpellier HSC. The centre-back looks set to miss several weeks’ worth of action.

There is good news for Toulouse, who are looking to break a rotten run of form. Aron Donnum and Cristian Casseres have both returned from suspensions, bolstering Carles Martínez Novell’s options. Gabriel Suazo has also shaken off his hamstring injury and he is set to come straight back in at left-back.

In Nicolaisen’s absence and amid a poor run of form, Le TéFéCé may switch to a back four, with Charlie Creswell set to start. Up front, Frank Magri will lead the line with summer arrival Joshua King set once again for a place on the bench.
