Steve Mandanda will start for the Coupe de France semi-final at the Parc des Princes. The former Marseillais will regain his place to the detriment of Gauthier Gallon who had been chosen to start all matches in the competition so far.
Mandanda's experience certainly weighed heavily in the decision. The ex-Le Havre player will take on this role in two days against an opponent he knows by heart having already faced him 34 times in his career (10 victories, 4 draws, 20 defeats).
