JDA Dijon – which has a record of 3 victories for 7 defeats in the elite – will not present itself with all its strength on Saturday evening in Saint-Quentin (2 victories, 8 defeats).
Exited in the first quarter against Monaco, Williams Narace suffers from a major calf injury, as we mentioned on Monday, and will be absent for several weeks. An unavailability which makes it necessary to use a medical freelancer, knowing that after Saint-Quentin, the JDA still has three matches to play in 2025.
A hard-to-find JFL reinforcement
“It’s a significant tear in his calf, he felt a stab during an offensive action and after the match, he had difficulty walking,” explains sports director Fabien Romeyer. “We will start looking for a replacement knowing that the market for a JFL is very complex.”
If Dijon opened the door to a Bosman or US reinforcement, it would then be necessary to leave a player in the stands at each meeting, since Dijon has currently reached its quota of non-JFL players (Holston, Barnett, Owens, Hrovat, Moore, Stockton).
Holston, return against Nancy?
As for David Holston, released at half-time of the match against Monaco, he suffers from an adductor injury and will be absent for a few days. “He hurt himself diving in the duel with Strazel and given his age, we will be very vigilant about recovery times,” the Dijon sports director confided this Thursday.
The presence of the 39-year-old American leader is therefore very unlikely against Saint-Quentin, but the Dijon club can hope to get him back for the Nancy reception.
