“After a multitude of in-depth examinations“, central defender Kevin Danso, absent since the beginning of September, “is suitable for a return to competition“, RC Lens announced on Friday. The Austrian international was due to join AS Roma at the end of August before the Italian club changed its mind following a medical examination which did not satisfy him. The 25-year-old (1.88 meters) has since consulted “world-renowned expert doctors” et “potential uncertainties are perfectly removed“, indicated the Artois club.
“The news is positive, but it will be unavailable this weekend” in Ligue 1, however, specified his coach Will Still. In addition to Danso, the Anglo-Belgian will be deprived, Sunday (5 p.m.) in Strasbourg, of Neil El Aynaoui, Jonathan Gradit (ankle), Martin Satriano, Jimmy Cabot, Sidi Bane and Hervé Koffi, all in the infirmary, as well as Anass Zaroury and Rémy Labeau-Lascary, suspended.
The absence in September of Kevin Danso, cornerstone of the Sang et Or’s defense in recent seasons, did not prevent them from defending very well. Sixth in Ligue 1, they have only conceded two goals, and have the best rearguard in the championship.
