Right-back Mathieu Chalmé faces a race against time to be fit in time for FC Girondins de Bordeaux's UEFA Cup first round first leg against Tampere United.
Hamstring knock
The 26-year-old has been ruled out for a fortnight after pulling up with a hamstring injury during Bordeaux's 2-1 victory against AS Monaco FC at the weekend. He is suspended for the trip to his former employers LOSC Lille Métropole on 15 October anyway, but will be touch and go for the UEFA Cup match at home to Tampere of Finland five days later.
