Jonas Martin - Returns to bench Martin (tear) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against PSG.

Impact Martin is back with the team as expected Wednesday, finding a spot on the bench after a lengthy absence due to a tear. He will hope to see some time off the bench, although a starting role shouldn't be expected much, only starting in five of his 16 appearances before his injury.

Romain Del Castillo - Needs a few more days Del Castillo (knee) needs more time and is not an option for Wednesday's match against PSG, according to manager Eric Roy. "Romain [will be out] a few more days."

Impact Del Castillo will miss yet another match, making it four straight games out due to his knee injury. However, he is nearing a return, implying he will see the field again soon and possibly this week. That said, he will look to be an option for Sunday's match against Strasbourg.

Jonas Martin - Set for return Martin (tear) is an option for Wednesday's match against PSG, according to manager Eric Roy. "We can count on Jonas who is making his return to the squad."

Impact Martin was back in team training last week, so it is no surprise he will be an option for Wednesday's match. This ends a lengthy absence, last seeing the field Nov. 26 and missing 14 games in the process. He has only started in five of his 16 appearances and will likely remain in a rotational role.

Ibrahim Salah - Out several weeks Salah is set to miss several weeks due to a fractured metatarsal, according to manager Eric Roy. "In terms of absences, we have to do without Ibrahim Salah for several weeks."

Impact Salah will likely miss around the next month to six weeks as he recovers from a fracture in his foot. This comes after his early exit from the club's last contest, only lasting 21 minutes before he was taken off. He will hope for a clean recovery and no setbacks, likely to return around the end of March. He is more of a rotational option, so this isn't a major loss.

Kamory Doumbia - Nine crosses, five shots Doumbia generated five shots (three on goal), nine crosses (one accurate) and five corners in Friday's 2-2 draw versus AJ Auxerre.

Impact Doumbia updated his season high in both crosses and shots. While not quite accurate with his crosses, that was the same for his shots, with his three shots on goal also being a season high.

FEBRUARY 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Mama Balde - Logs another assist Balde assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 2-2 draw against AJ Auxerre. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 25th minute.

Impact February has been an excellent month for Balde, who has logged an assist in back-to-back appearances. With his current form also a season high, him being part of Brest's starting XI may be worth a strong consideration.

FEBRUARY 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ludovic Ajorque - Continues goal streak Ajorque scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 2-2 draw against AJ Auxerre.

Impact Ajorque has been undeniable in Ligue 1 action, logging a goal in each of his last six domestic-league appearances. To make the streak seven, he will have to score Wednesday at Paris Saint-Germain, currently first in Ligue 1 with the fewest goals conceded.

FEBRUARY 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Marco Bizot - Two goals conceded, five saves Bizot recorded five saves and allowed two goals in Friday's 2-2 draw against AJ Auxerre.

Impact Bizot has conceded multiple goals in two of Brest's last three games. The last of the three games was Friday, and it saw Bizot more than double his save tally across said span, which included his nine saves.

FEBRUARY 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ibrahim Salah - Injured early Salah was injured during the first half of Friday's clash with Auxerre.

Impact Salah picked up the injury inside the 21st minute and was forced off the pitch. Mama Balde came on to replace him, and should see more chances in the starting XI if the injury to Salah proves to be a severe one, as the two have rotated across multiple competitions.

FEBRUARY 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Romain Del Castillo - Left out Friday Del Castillo (knee) is out for Friday's match against Auxerre.

Impact Del Castillo is not an option after seeing the doubtful tag, left on the sidelines due to a knee injury. This is his second straight match out, hoping to not make that three and find the team sheet next outing. He has only appeared in seven games (three starts), so this is a minor loss.

FEBRUARY 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Romain Del Castillo - Doubtful for Auxerre Del Castillo (knee) has been sidelined for the last two games due to a knee injury and remains questionable for Friday's game against Auxerre, coach Eric Roy said in a press confer...

Impact Del Castillo is dealing with knee discomfort, which caused him to miss the last two games. He remains doubtful for Friday's match against Auxerre. That said, the forward hasn't been an undisputed starter this season, so his absence likely won't have a significant impact on Brest's starting XI.

FEBRUARY 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jonas Martin - Back in team training Martin (tear) was back in team training Thursday but will need several days of training to reach full fitness, coach Eric Roy said in the press conference.

Impact Martin has been sidelined since late November due to a tear injury but returned to team training for the first time on Thursday. He will need additional sessions to regain his fitness after such a long layoff. However, he is expected to remain a depth option in midfield and an option off the bench for the remainder of the season.

Champions League: Real Madrid's late magic downs Manchester City again

Marco Bizot - Blown away Tuesday Bizot had four saves and allowed three goals in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain.

Impact Bizot was routed during Tuesday's loss, conceding three on seven shots as PSG dominated the match. It was always going to be a tough match simply due to the talent PSG offer in the attack. Bizot has been an excellent goalkeeper domestically and against easier opponents and has upside elsewhere moving forward.

FEBRUARY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Hugo Magnetti - One corner in loss Magnetti recorded one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Tuesday's 3-0 defeat versus Paris Saint-Germain.

Impact Magnetti had a quiet day on the whole, though perhaps the most notable part is that he did take a set-piece role. In a match where Brest had few dead-ball chances that's potentially even more notable. Still on the whole it was a day to forget for Magnetti, and Brest, who were totally outplayed.

FEBRUARY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Kenny Lala - Eight crosses in loss Lala recorded one shot (one on goal), eight crosses (three accurate) and three corners in Tuesday's 3-0 loss against Paris Saint-Germain.

Impact Lala sent in eight crosses but failed to create too many chances as the PSG backline proved formidable. It was about as expected, Brest just didn't have the talent or firepower to compete. Lala should have more room to roam forward in coming domestic matches against more manageable opponents.

FEBRUARY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Abdallah Sima - Four shots in loss Sima had four shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 3-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.

Impact Sima got the start and sent in four shots during Tuesday's loss, though he never really looked too dangerous. It was always going to be a brutally difficult match and it went about exactly as expected. The striker will have more chances in coming matches against more beatable opponents.

FEBRUARY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Brendan Chardonnet - Four tackles in 2-0 win Chardonnet recorded four tackles (four won) and 16 clearances in Friday's 2-0 win over Nantes.

Impact Chardonnet made 16 clearances in the match, the most by any player. It was the most number of clearances a Brest player made in a single fixture this season. Chardonnet attempted four tackles and won all of them.

FEBRUARY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Marco Bizot - Two saves on Friday Bizot registered two saves and allowed zero goals in Friday's 2-0 victory against Nantes. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 89th minute.

Impact Bizot made two saves while keeping a clean sheet. It was the 33-year-old's fifth clean sheet this season in the league campaign. For the third time in the last four matches, Bizot made a couple of clearances.

FEBRUARY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Mama Balde - Provides assist vs Nantes Balde assisted once to go with zero corners and two chances created in Friday's 2-0 win against Nantes.

Impact Balde provided an assist for the team's second goal in the match which was his second in the league campaign. The 29-year-old created two chances despite playing only 20 minutes on the night.

FEBRUARY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Pierre Lees-Melou - Scores in 2-0 win Lees-Melou scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and two chances created in Friday's 2-0 win against Nantes.

Impact Lees-Melou had an impressive day for the winning team. The 31-year-old not only scored the team's second goal in the match, which was his first in the league campaign, but also provided an assist for the opener. It was the first occasion this season where Lees-Melou scored and provided an assist in the same match.

FEBRUARY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ludovic Ajorque - Scores on Friday Ajorque scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 2-0 win versus Nantes.

Impact Ajorque scored the team's first goal in the match which was his ninth in the league campaign. It was his third goal in the last three league fixtures as well. Ajorque attempted two tackles and won both of them.

FEBRUARY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Massadio Haidara - Comes off bench Haidara (calf) came off the bench for the final 12 minutes of Tuesday's Coupe de France clash with Troyes.

Impact Haidara was out for about two weeks with a calf injury, but he was deemed fit enough for Tuesday's clash. The defender returned off the bench for 12 minutes during Tuesday's match. Haidara should compete for minutes in the starting XI now that he's fit once more.

FEBRUARY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ludovic Ajorque - Nets consolation goal Ajorque scored a goal while taking three shots (two on goal) and creating two chances during Saturday's 5-2 loss to PSG.

Impact Ajorque found the back of the net in the 71st minute while leading Brest in shots and chances created. The forward has a goal in each of his last three Ligue 1 starts to go along with six shots and six chances created over that stretch.

FEBRUARY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Marco Bizot - Concedes five to PSG Bizot allowed five goals while making two saves during Saturday's 5-2 loss to PSG.

Impact Bizot allowed a goal in the first half and four in the second as Brest dropped all three points Saturday. The keeper has allowed six goals while combining for 11 saves over his last three Ligue 1 starts.
