Angers predicted XI v Reims: Estéban Lepaul out
SCO Angers host Stade de Reims on Tuesday with a place in the Coupe de France semi-finals at stake. However, Les Scoïstes must do without top-scorer Estéban Lepaul for the encounter.
Lepaul has been in top form of late but missed the draw to AS Saint-Étienne over the weekend. Suffering with an adductor injury, he will miss the game against Reims too. Ibrahima Niane and Bamba Dieng will compete for the No.9 position in his absence this evening.
There is, however, a returnee for Angers in the form of Jean-Eudes Aholou, who missed the weekend game through suspension. There may be changes at the back too with backup goalkeeper Melvin Zinga set to play, as he has throughout the Coupe de France, whilst Carlens Arcus and Emmanuel Biumla could also make returns.
Melvin Zinga; Jacques Ekomié, Jordan Lefort, Emmanuel Biumla, Lilian Raolisoa; Yassin Belkhdim, Jean-Eudes Aholou; Farid El Melali, Himad Abdelli, Jim Allevinah; Ibrahima Niane. (L'Éq)

Karel Geraerts tops Reims' shortlist for new head coach
According to a report from L'Équipe, Karel Geraerts tops Stade de Reims's shortlist for their new head coach following the departure of Samba Diawara. The Champagne club reportedly interviewed Geraerts and were convinced by the Belgian's profile. However, Geraerts, a free agent since September, after he was sacked from Schalke 04, has not yet given Reims a definitive answer. The club are faced with certain issues that could detract from the attractiveness of the role; they will likely have to sell this summer, while the budget will also be tightened after suffering a relegation to Ligue 2 via the playoffs. Advertisement Reims had been linked with Philippe Montanier, who has not had a head coaching role since leaving Toulouse FC in 2023 after leading the club to their first-ever Coupe de France title. However, Mohamed Toubache-Ter reported that conversations had cooled between the two parties. L'Équipe points to Olivier Dall'Oglio as another option if Geraerts cannot be convinced. He had led AS Saint-Étienne to promotion in the 2023/24 season, but was sacked in the past campaign following a poor set of results. GFFN | Nick Hartland

Axel Tape joins Bayer Leverkusen from PSG
Bayer Leverkusen have officially announced the signing of Axel Tape (17) on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain. The teenager was coming to the end of his contract at the European champions, and negotiations over an extension were met with issues that could not be resolved. As per a report from Foot Mercato, Tape viewed himself as a centre-back, while PSG considered his best position to be as a midfielder. Advertisement He was also met with the problem that there was too much competition ahead of him for places, and therefore, he believed that the best path for his development was to leave his formative club. Tape leaves PSG, having made his professional debut for the club, appearing in three games this season. He featured during the 4-2 victory over FC Espaly in the Coupe de France, as well as the Ligue 1 loss to RC Strasbourg Alsace (2-1) and the win over Montpellier HSC (4-1). GFFN | Nick Hartland

'An absolute master, a wizard with the ball' - who is new City man Cherki?
Rayan Cherki is only the latest talent fresh off the Lyon production line, but he may be the best yet. He joined Lyon at the age of seven from AS Saint-Priest and, aged 16 years and 140 days, became their youngest goalscorer in January 2020. Advertisement Before that, in November 2019, a Champions League debut came against Zenit, while he also helped France reach the quarter-finals of the European Under-21 Championships in 2023. Cherki has just enjoyed a breakout campaign in Ligue 1, providing 11 assists, 22 big chances - the most in the league - 13 through-balls and 48 successful dribbles. A return of 12 goals is by far the best of his short career, but it is his work and understanding of the game off the ball that has arguably improved the most this term. French football expert Julien Laurens, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Euro Leagues podcast, said: "He has been incredible this season. Since he was 16 - even before that - the talent is there, left foot or right foot. Advertisement "A player at this level who takes corners with each foot depending on which side of the corner it is, to be an inswinger every time is just incredible. "He is one of the greatest technicians in Europe right now." Of the 44 shots he took with his feet in Ligue 1 last season, 22 came with the left and 22 with the right. Cherki's growing reputation was only enhanced by Thursday's stunning international debut on Thursday against Spain, when he sparked France's comeback from 5-1 down. And Laurens certainly isn't Cherki's only admirer. France legend Thierry Henry has previously said he has "never seen a player in history who dribbles as quickly as him", while Lyon's captain Alexandre Lacazette described him as "special". Advertisement Cherki, also part of the France squad that finished runners-up at the 2024 Olympics, scored in both legs for Lyon against Manchester United in a Europa League quarter-final defeat in 2024-25. Speaking to BBC Sport in April about him, Lyon's former Arsenal player Ainsley Maitland-Niles said: "He is the best natural talent I've ever seen. An absolute master, a wizard with the ball. "He is taking chances, assists and dragging us up the pitch by taking people on and nutmegging them - he is a genius."
