The Aiglons coach will notably have to do without one of his strong men in the person of Youssouf Ndayishimiye – suspended – although he records the return of Jordan Lotomba. “Jordan is coming back. He did a good job with our physical trainers. He made a partial return with the group and tomorrow (Thursday), he will make a full return for the last training. We will assess where he is. If he could be in Montpellier? I think so. Alexis Claude-Maurice (calf) is the only player unavailable with Youssouf (Ndayishimiye, suspended). »
“ What we can’t afford is to lose another player by trying to bring him back too quickly.continued the Italian technician. With Jordanwe have followed the entire recovery protocol, we gave it the time it needed. His return offers an additional solution, I like watching all the players I have at my disposal.
