StrasbourgSuspension served
Moreira is an option again after completing a one-match suspension Sunday against Angers.
Analysis: Moreira hasn't started since Feb. 27 as he struggled with a groin injury and subsequently served suspension, but he's now in contention for an attacking midfield spot. His return could impact Samuel Amo-Ameyaw's and Gessime Yassine's playing time in upcoming contests. During the current campaign, the 21-year-old has scored three goals and provided four assists from 23 shots (nine on goal) and 33 chances created in 25 league appearances.
Suspended against Angers
Moreira (suspension) has accumulated five yellow cards in French competitions and will serve a one-match ban for Sunday's clash against Angers, according to Cyril Olives-Berthet of L'Equipe.
Analysis: Moreira's absence is an untimely blow for Strasbourg heading into the final fixtures of the season, with the Portuguese winger having been an important attacking option throughout the campaign. Gessime Yassine is expected to take on a larger role in the front line in his place as the Racing push through the closing stages of what has been a significant season on multiple fronts.
