With Duje Caleta-Car and Pape Gueye suspended, new manager Igor Tudor will have to lean even more heavily on his summer recruits. As Paul López is injured, look for former Celta Vigo goalkeeper Rúben Blanco to start here. Sead Kolasinac or Pol Lirola could also start on the left flank given Tavares' relatively recent arrival. Despite a busy summer, this XI will look quite familiar to those who followed the Champage club last season. Japanese international Junya Ito's arrival is a break with Reims' reputation as a selling club, given his age, but he could prosper given a free role in Óscar Garcia's system. Goalkeeper Patrick Pentz has arrived to replace Predrag Rajkovic.
