OL: Fonseca wants three players sold and replaced

Paulo Fonseca has called for OL to sell three players and bring in replacements after the 1-1 draw with Le Havre. His assessment puts squad restructuring at the centre of the club’s next decisions, with the coach identifying departures and additions as the areas requiring attention.

The draw left Le Havre 14th in the 2026 Ligue 1 standings after one match. Their listed record is no wins, no draws and one defeat, with 0 points and a 0-1 goal balance. The 1-1 result against OL was the latest outcome attached to Fonseca’s call for changes, although the available league figures show Le Havre’s position after one fixture.

Le Havre’s recent results before this point have been uneven. They defeated Red Star FC 93 2-1 and won 2-0 away at Lorient, but lost 1-2 to Amiens and 0-1 to Marseille. They also drew 1-1 at Lille. That sequence includes two wins, two defeats and a draw, while their league listing places them near the bottom after the opening fixture.

Fonseca’s stated requirement is specific: three players should leave and be replaced. The demand gives OL a clear recruitment brief as the squad is reviewed. Le Havre’s next Ligue 1 fixture is at home to Stade Brestois 29 on September 5, 2026.
