Strasbourg lost two key players after their relegation and others are on the way to leave the club. However, the future of Hosni Abd Rabo and Ahmed Abo Mosallam is yet to be decided.

The club lost their top scorer and arguably their best player, the Ivorian Amara Diane who signed for Paris Saint Germain a few days ago. As well as this, the Swede midfielder Alexander Farnerud also left the club and signed for Bundesliga side Stuttgart.

The negative effects of relegation will continue and more key players are expected to leave making the stay of the Egyptians Abo Mosallam and Abd Rabo at the club unlikely to happen.

Rumours started to circulate and to link the Egyptians, who are currently in vacation in Egypt, to a return to their former Egyptians club or to Ahly (in the case of Abd Rabo), however both players didn't exclude the option of staying in Europe and moving to another French club.


It should be noted that Strasbourg appointed the French legend Jean Pierre-Papin as their new manager in order to help the club to get back to Ligue 1. However, the job seems to be a difficult one.
