Gouffran and Obraniak doubtful

09 November 2012, 20:44

Girondins Bordeaux could visit Lorient on Sunday without key striker Yoan Gouffran and playmaker Ludovic Obraniak, a duo who have scored more than 50 percent of their league goals so far this season.

"It is 50/50," coach Francis Gillot told a news conference on Friday. "We'll decide tomorrow after a last test."

Gouffran has a painful knee and decided not to take part in the Europa League win against Portuguese side Maritimo on Thursday after struggling in the warm-up.

Obraniak, who has helped Bordeaux to seventh, is suffering a thigh injury.
