Author of his first three goals in Ligue 1 this season with Losc, by equalizing against PSG (1-1), his training club, under the eyes of his big brother Kylian, on October 10, and by giving Losc victory against OM on December 5 (1-0), Ethan Mbappé has been a little off since a ruptured tendon in his right thigh at the start of the year. The 19-year-old midfielder, much appreciated by Bruno Genesio for his technique and his percussion on the right side, does not use it much.
Ethan Mbappé returned to competition a month ago during the derby against RC Lens (3-0 victory), entering in the 80th minute. Then he appeared in the 71st minute against Toulouse when his team was already leading 3-0, from the 56th minute against OGC Nice (0-0) and only in the 78th minute against Paris FC (0-1 victory) last weekend.
Ethan Mbappé not ready for the final sprint
His return to the starting lineup should not occur during the last three matches of the season, against Le Havre, Sunday (3 p.m.), then against AS Monaco and AJ Auxerre, while the Mastiffs are 4th in the standings, tied on points and goal difference with OL, 3rd thanks to direct confrontations.
Ethan Mbappé has not yet regained all his physical abilities, as indicated LePetitLillois. And Bruno Genesio found a good formula for this final sprint with Ngal’ayel Mukau on the right, to accompany Hakon Haraldsson, Félix Correia and a successful Matias Fernandez-Pardo at the forefront (at the expense of Olivier Giroud). Osame Sahraoui, back after pubic surgery, has a better chance of regaining the left winger position at the start of Losc’s next matches.
