Impact Pavard has been dealing with a minor issue this week and is a doubt for Saturday's clash against Angers. The center-back will likely be a late call after Friday's final training session and if he had to miss the game on Saturday, a change will have to be made in the backline since he is an undisputed starter for OM this season, with Conrad Jonathan Egan-Riley as a likely option to start if he misses out.
