This is also the case for Pierre Lees-Melou, who “felt something in the back of his leg at La Meinau and who is doing much better” according to the coach during the press conference. Adrien Tameze also returns to the squad.

The coach also provided an update on Adam Ounas, Stanley Nsoki and Ibrahim Cissé, who are working hard to recover from injuries: “It’s going well for them. I hope that within a week, they will be back training with the squad.”
