Aron Dönnum has returned to the Toulouse Football Club squad for Saturday's home game against Le Havre, a first this season. Central defender Rasmus Nicolaisen is again ruled out for this Ligue 1 matchday five clash.
The Toulouse staff confirmed the Norwegian winger's availability. Dönnum had not been selected for the first four league matches. "It's an important return for us, he brings different qualities," manager Carles Martínez Novell told reporters in a press conference. The coach also stated that Nicolaisen's absence, having also missed the Lorient game, was due to a persistent muscle issue.
This news comes as TFC, 17th with just two points, face another direct rival in 16th-placed Le Havre. The last meeting between the two sides, on February 15, ended in a 2-1 defeat for Toulouse. The club is looking to build on the draw snatched at Lorient (2-2) last week, where Casper Tengstedt and Thomas Jorgensen rescued a point. TFC, with a season goal of 60 points, has currently scored 4 goals and conceded 8. The next fixture after the Le Havre clash is a trip to Monaco on September 28. The team's upcoming fixtures are available to view.
The match is scheduled for Saturday, September 19 at 5:00 PM at the Stadium. The starting lineup will be announced one hour before kickoff. The form of the collective, which is without a win in five matches, is being closely watched by supporters, who can track the standings.
