The Ligue 1 schedule heads into its final weekend before the November international break and both Toulouse and Strasbourg will be seeking a strong result ahead of the two-week breather.
Mark McKenzie and Gio Reyna face off with Toulouse hosting Strasbourg as both clubs sit level on 10 points apiece. McKenzie has continued to be a stalwart in the Toulouse backline this season, logging nine appearances in league play.
The 27-year-old is set to make his return to the Philadelphia Union in January, but first will try and help Toulouse stay in the race for European Football next season.
As for Reyna, he’s enjoyed a positive start to life in France. The 23-year-old attacking midfielder has two goals to his name since joining from Borussia Moenchengladbach, playing a large role in the heart of Hugo Oliveira’s squad.
