The package in Toulouse of Mickaël Biron (still absent against Sochaux) because of Covid was a bad sign. The virus strikes again in the Forêt de Haye, after the cluster in November.
Three additional players are affected and, among them, there is the titular goalkeeper (Baptiste Valette) and his double (Martin Sourzac), plus the side Rosario Latouchent. Suddenly, it is the young Hugo Constant, third professional goalkeeper, who will protect the Nancy cage this Saturday at Picot against the Sochaliens. The goal on the bench will be another kid from the training center: Marco Giagnorio.

Fortunately, Hugo Constant did not test positive for Covid this week, otherwise there would have been a postponement of the match according to the protocol established by the LFP. We must also hope that Hugo Constant still passes between the drops of the virus in the coming days since Baptiste Valette and Martin Sourzac “should also miss the matches in Auxerre and against Ajaccio” says the coach Jean-Louis Garcia, still according to the recommendations of the League in such a situation.

In any case, it will be the first official match among the pros for Hugo Constant, a true child of the club. Himself a former porter, Jean-Louis Garcia will help him to tackle this baptism in L2: “This first match must remain a great memory for Hugo, that he ends it without regret. Hugo does not have any particular pressure to put on, he will have to be concentrated, not to overplay. I know that Gennaro (Bracigliano), our goalkeeper coach, has already started to prepare Hugo well. It is for me the occasion to underline the remarkable work carried out by Genna ”.
