Scores own goal in finale
Doukoure registered an own goal, one tackle (zero won), eight clearances and one interception in Sunday's 5-4 win versus Monaco.
Analysis: Doukoure scored an own goal in the 55th minute Sunday, a goal which gave Monaco the 4-1 lead before Strasbourg roared back to win the nine-goal thriller. It was a solid campaign for Doukoure as he recorded two assists and kept five clean sheets across 25 starts in his fourth full season with the French club.
Late scratch Wednesday
Doukoure is a late scratch from Wednesday's match against Brest.
Analysis: Doukoure was initially in the starting XI Wednesday, but after going through warm-ups, he has been deemed a late scratch. This likely means he suffered an injury, hopefully nothing too serious, as they head into the final match of the season. However, he will only have a few days to recover, facing Monaco on Sunday.
Setups opening goal
Doukoure assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 loss against Toulouse.
Analysis: Doukoure turned in a composed 71-minute shift at center-back in Sunday's 2-1 Ligue 1 home loss to Toulouse, racking up a season-high 10 clearances while helping Strasbourg stay organized defensively through much of the first half against the attacking trio of Santiago Hidalgo, Yann Gboho and Jacen Russell-Rowe. He also set up Samuel Amo-Ameyaw's opener, bringing his Ligue 1 assist total to two in 23 appearances (23 starts) this season, already surpassing his previous career high with the Racing.
Option again
Doukoure (illness) is no longer ill and is an option for play again, according to Dorian Faucherand of Alsa Sports.
Analysis: Doukoure is no longer dealing with his illness and is set for a return after he missed the club's last outing. This is good news heading into Cup play on Wednesday, as a regular starter in the defense will be available. He has started in all 21 of his appearances this season, likely to return to that role immediately.
