Touré misses Cannes. The clash against AS Cannes at the Antonins stadium could be the last chance for the Crocodiles, who cannot afford to make any mistakes. However, facing the leaders of Pool C, Gazélec Ajaccio, with a one-point lead over Nîmes Olympique, the Gardois will be without the services of striker Bissourou Touré. Touré, who scored four goals and had two assists in eleven matches, will be suspended for the next match but can play against Hyères on Saturday. The Antonins stadium saw a record attendance of 7,392 spectators against Saint-Maur, surpassing the previous record of 6,486. This season, a total of 71,382 spectators attended matches at the Antonins stadium.
