Girondins Bordeaux - Newcastle Utd
The problems with injured players for Alan Pardew seem to have no end. Almost all major players in the squad have physical problems. Whether this is due to bad luck or poor physical condition remains a riddle.
The number of injuries, however, increases after every match of Newcastle and since they have secured qualifying for the next stage of the tournament, maybe Alan Pardew will not risk in this game. However, this match
should not be underestimated, because it will determine the winner of the group as Bordeaux have 10 points and Newcastle 9.
There are 10 names in the list of injured players for the guests, five of them with serious injuries and another five with minor ones. It is unlikely that their health will be risked in this meeting. The main scorer Demba Ba received minor trauma in
the match against Wigan last Saturday. Hatem Ben Arfa and Cheik Tioté are also doubtful to start the match. The large number of important injured footballers will allow some players who participate less often to prove themselves to the coach.
For the hosts with an injury is only the attacking midfielder Ludovic Obraniak and Henri Saivet and Abdou Traoré are questionable.
Although this is a direct battle for the first place in the group, perhaps the main objective of Alan Pardew will be to kill the pace of the game. Moreover, the team has a tough forthcoming visit to Fulham in the next
round of the Premier League. For the team of Bordeaux, however, the crippled Newcastle is a great opportunity to triumph in front of their own audience and secure a favorable opponents for the next stage of the tournament. With the possible absence of Demba Ba, it might be
relatively difficult for guests to break through the strong defense of Bordeaux.
English clubs generally do not seem particularly motivated for the matches of the European club competitions, let alone an English team suffering from injuries, which has guaranteed the participation in the next phase of the tournament.
