Youcef Atal is available again

During the pre-match press conference ahead of the game against Lille, Didier Digard was asked to give an update on his squad and in particular on Youcef Atal's return to training. "He is fit. He has trained very well. We shouldn't be afraid of this run of three games in a week and start taking unnecessary risks with a player as important as Youcef," said the Gym coach.

"On the one hand, because the season is still long, and on the other hand because Jordan (Lotomba) has worked very well in recent weeks. We will be very careful to ensure that he can make a steady comeback. That doesn't mean that he won't play on Sunday either. We'll be paying close attention to him because he's very important for us."

As for Marcin Bulka, he continues his rehabilitation. Didier Digard wants to take his time with the Polish keeper. "These are injuries that are not minor. He's got a big frame too. We have to be very careful, because he is also a young player who will be very important for the future of the club. We're not going to take any unnecessary risks and let him work calmly, and return to competition as soon as possible, but without taking any risks."

The Gym host Lille this Sunday from 13:00 at the Allianz Riviera.
