“He was supposed to play less than thirty minutes, but with Koné’s injury, it was a bit of a forced change,” explained the Italian coach. “He’s obviously an important player. He made a good start, but he’s not 100% yet. He’s not ready to start a match yet. We really need to help him get back into shape.”

The midfielderABOUT Pierre-Emile Højbjerg for his part made it clear that his team was outclassed in the engagement by Strasbourg: “Congratulations to Strasbourg, they made the match difficult for us. They pressed well, they played well. I think we didn’t live up to our level. In terms of intensity we were also below and we have to improve very quickly. We have to change pace very quickly to increase intensity to get points as we have done so far,” Højbjerg told DAZN.
