Matteo Sereni's Brescia side drew 0-0 at Empoli on Sunday. The on loan keeper made a number of fine saves as his team won an important point against another side in the Serie A relegation shake-down.

Brescia remain in 11th position, six points clear of the drop zone.

French winger Ulrich Le Pen was in the Strasbourg side which lost 3-1 at home to Souchaux on Saturday.

On Wednesday the Town player set up Strasbourg's goal in a 1-1 draw with Bordeaux, Daniel Luboja heading in his freekick. He also survived a horror tackle which saw Eduardo Costa sent off.

Strasbourg are in 13th in Le Championnat, seven points off the relegation places.

The year-long loan agreements, as well as financial considerations, mean that the Blues cannot call either player back this season.

Town negotiated fees for Sereni and Le Pen payable next summer if their loan clubs then wish to sign them permanently and have the cash to do so.
