ASSE hosts Strasbourg this Saturday evening at the Geoffroy Guichard stadium. A reaction is expected from Olivier Dall'Oglio's men after 2 consecutive defeats. The Saint-Etienne coach was able to see the returns of 2 players in training this morning.
The ASSE nursery remains full
The ASSE infirmary remains very busy. After two months of absence due to a meniscus injury, Yvann Maçon should be present this weekend. The versatile full-back has been training collectively for 2 weeks. Olivier Dall'Oglio did not select him for the trip to Angers last weekend. Pierre Cornud has also been absent for several weeks. The native of Avignon was affected in the hamstrings. He resumed racing during the last international break. Marwann Nzuzi and Kévin Pedro are still absent.
Anthony Briançon and Thomas Monconduit recently underwent surgery. The return of the first city should come before that of the former Lorientais. Ibrahima Wadji returned to Étrat at the start of the week after a period of rehabilitation at Clairefontaine. The Senegalese striker has resumed with the group. Finally, Ben Old, injured in training two weeks ago, had knee surgery last week. The New Zealand international will be out for at least 4 months.
Briançon trots, Cornud with the group
This morning, Anthony Briançon appeared on the lawns of the Robert Herbin Sports Center. The former Nîmes man underwent knee surgery last month. The native of Avignon therefore begins his recovery protocol. The second also comes from the Vaucluse prefecture. Pierre Cornud had resumed racing several days ago. He participated in exercises with the group this morning. The former Maccabi Haifa resumes gradually by being integrated into the collective sessions. Unlike Yvann Maçon, he should not apply for the match against Strasbourg the day after tomorrow.
Olivier Dall'Oglio will say more about the state of his troops this afternoon at a press conference.
