ASSE currently has several injured. In addition to Yvann Maçon, Thomas Monconduit and Ibrahima Wadji, Olivier Dall’Oglio must deal with the absences of Anthony Briançon and Pierre Cornud.
Several Greens out
This Thursday, Olivier Dall’Oglio took stock of the state of his troops at a press conference:
Wadji went to Clairefontaine for about three weeks. For Anthony Briançon, there will probably be a small intervention on the knee. We are still waiting for confirmation, but it should not be a major operation, rather a light intervention on this stubborn knee.
Otherwise, everything continues as normal. Concerning Mason, things are going pretty well. For Monconduit, the same, but we remain within the planned deadlines without any notable development for the moment. Pierre Cornud is doing well too, things are going pretty well for him. We don’t have too many problems, which is a good thing. Apart from a few small problems after the matches, following blows, but otherwise, everything is fine. »
Bad news for ASSE
L’Equipe tells us this Friday that the former captain of the Greens had surgery on his right knee. It should not return to the lawns for a month.
Another big disappointment, Pierre Cornud, affected in Nice, is unavailable for five to six weeks! ASSE will have to cope without its left side until mid-November. What is there to hope for a return for the derby scheduled for the weekend of November 10?
Olivier Dall’Oglio only has two professional full-backs: Léo Pétrot and Dennis Appiah. Marwan Nzuzi, Yvan Maçon and Pierre Cornud are injured. Kévin Pedro is suspended for upcoming matches. ASSE would find itself facing a complicated equation in the event of new physical glitches or suspension…
However, the Saint-Etienne management has chosen not to recruit a Joker during this delicate period. A sportingly risky choice.
