Brest will be without captain Brendan Chardonnet for their second Ligue 1 match against Toulouse on Saturday, as he recovers from a pre-season injury. The 20h45 kick-off will see the team count on key players Hugo Magnetti and Gautier Lloris, who were absent for the first match.
L'Équipe Football reports that Julien Lachuer, Brest's coach, is pleased to have Magnetti back, who was unable to start the season due to ischio-jambiers. Lloris, who was on the bench at Mans last weekend, will also be available.
The return of Magnetti could potentially allow Lucas Tousart to play in his preferred midfield position, although the competition in the defensive central sector is fierce, with Magnetti, Chotard, Joseph Nongé, and Mamady Diambou all vying for places.
