Reims predicted XI v Cannes: Keito Nakamura to start, Teddy Teuma on the bench | OneFootball

Club captain Teddy Teuma is likely to once again start on the bench for Stade de Reims when they head to face AS Cannes with a place in the final of the Coupe de France up for grabs.

Cannes are without several players, including Mohamed Daramy, Reda Khadra, and Paris Saint-Germain loanee Gabriel Moscardo. However, Samba Diawara has a large squad to pick from and his side will head down to the Côte d’Azur high on confidence having secured their first win in Ligue 1 since 10th November, against Olympique de Marseille (3-0).

Keito Nakamura starred in that win and he is expected to lead the line for Reims. Captain Teuma, meanwhile, remains out of favour. The Malta international, who is expected to leave at the end of the season, wasn’t even included in the matchday squad in the final game before the international break. He was on the bench against OM and that is where he is expected to stay against Cannes.
