” No not at all “answers French.
“But the most important thing is to help the team. There are a lot of injuries. I prefer to play in the middle, but when the coach asks me to play behind, I have to do the job, I give the maximum even if it displeases some. I help the team and it is the most important ”he continues.
A situation that can last
Aurélien Tchouameni should still play a few matches in central defense. Indeed, Antonio Rüdiger, suffers from a muscular injury to the femoral biceps of the right leg. He should miss the return dam on Wednesday, February 19. David Alaba, victim of an injury to the left leg adductor, is also uncertain for next week, while Eder Militao is in full convalescence, after a break in the crossed ligament of the right knee last November.
