Ghana defender John Boye has made the Metz squad to face Valenciennes in the French Ligue 2week 36 clash.

The Maroons are on top of the French second-tier with 75 points and have already booked their topflight ticket.

Metz will lock horns with Valenciennes on Friday evening and manager Frederic Antonetti has included Boye in his team though the game is of no major importance to them though Valenciennes desperately need a win to move further out of the danger zone.

Boye has been solid at the back for Metz this season playing 31 games out of 35 and scoring one goal.

The 32-year-old central defender will also be gunning for the Metz player of the season award.
