Victorious on Sunday in Villeurbanne (85-87), Cholet Basket completes the first phase of BCL this Wednesday (8 p.m.) at La Meilleraie, with a reception from Badalone. This will be done without the two pivots of the Maugeois workforce Jamuni McNeace (2.08 m, 29 years old) and Qudus Wahab (2.11 m, 25 years old), as reported by our colleagues from West France.
Happy event awaited for Jamuni McNeace
For the first, his absence is rather fortunate, since McNeace and his partner are expecting their first child. Having already had a season in France under his belt, the American has the same rights as any citizen in the same situation: seven days of paternity leave. The American will therefore miss the match against Badalone, and logically the one against Monaco at the end of the week.

For Qudus Wahab, the situation is different. The American-Nigerian received a one-match suspension and a fine of 5,000 euros following the match won against Bursaspor. Indeed, Wahab was involved in a scuffle with the opposing players and staff at the buzzer, with one of the Turkish club assistants notably emerging with a bloody nose.

Fabrice Lefrançois will therefore have to show ingenuity against Ricky Rubio’s Badalone to compose without professional position 5. An occasional repositioning of Digué Diawara or Mohamed Diarra could be a fallback solution for the Choletais, the most important of whom is already assured on an accounting level. With three victories in five days, Cholet is already qualified for the play-in of the competition.
