Lorient will have to do without their left winger Pablo Pagis for three matches after his red card in the French Cup against Nice. The French Football Federation's disciplinary committee decided on this sanction during a meeting on Thursday. Pablo Pagis, who has already served a one-match suspension against Lille, will miss the home game against Lens this Saturday and will not participate in the trip to Toulouse on March 21. The Breton club, currently in 10th place in the Ligue 1 standings with 34 points, hopes to bounce back this weekend after three consecutive draws. And with this suspension, Pablo Pagis has three weeks before returning to competition. But Lorient is likely to appeal to contest the verdict rendered by the instance. So the Merlu will return after the break, during which the French team will play two friendly matches in the United States, against Brazil and Colombia. Pablo Pagis has resumed individual training after suffering a concussion during the match against Nice. The Breton club is counting on its top scorer this season, who has scored 8 goals in Ligue 1, to return to winning ways. Lorient will therefore have to do without its left winger to face Lens, the runner-up to PSG, this Saturday. The club's manager will have to find a solution to replace Pablo Pagis, who has been a key player for Lorient this season.
