Friday, August 30 at 11 p.m., the summer transfer window will close its doors in France. In three and a half days, while FC Lorient still has to trim a plethora of squad, during “the most complicated week since the restart,” according to Olivier Pantaloni. The fact remains that this Tuesday morning at training, there were 27 of them, including three goalkeepers on the Kerlir pitches. Among them, Montassar Talbi and Mohamed Bamba, the two players closest to a departure, potentially to Brest for the Tunisian central defender. In goal, Yvon Mvogo, like Talbi, has been granted an exit voucher since the relegation, but is still there, as is Eli Junior Kroupi on the attack front. Ponceau, Adjei, Katseris, Yongwa, who would not be opposed to a departure, were also present this Tuesday.
Laporte back, Mouyokolo absent
At the same time, Julien Laporte resumed individual running while Sambou Soumano, injured in training before the match against Grenoble, alternated exercises with and outside the group. Same session for Stéphane Diarra, who, “by the beginning of September, will be able to start participating in sessions with the group”, according to Olivier Pantaloni. As for the absentees, Grbic, Makengo, Bakayoko, Benjamin Mendy and Innocent were not there, as they have been for several weeks. Note that Mouyokolo, very often used during the preparation, did not take part in today’s session.
