Passionate about football since a young age, becoming a sports journalist quickly became obvious to Hugo. He would later discover a love for the NBA, before exploring other horizons such as Formula 1 and the NFL.
A week after the defeat in the Classic against PSG, OM have the opportunity to bounce back this Sunday evening on the pitch of FC Nantes, at the end of the 10th day of Ligue 1. Absent since September, Quentin Merlin will find his training club, since he is indeed in Roberto De Zerbi's group.
Since August 31 during the victory at ToulouseQuentin Merlin no longer played the slightest meeting with theABOUT. Hit in one thigh during the gathering of theFrench Espoirs team of September, the 22-year-old left back finally sees the end of the tunnel.
Merlin back against Nantes
In fact, theABOUT published the group convened by Roberto DeZerbi for moving theABOUT this Sunday evening at Nantes. A group in which we therefore find Quentin Merlin. Ulisses Garcialike last weekend against the PSGis still unavailable, just like Amine Harit (suspended) and the long-term injured (Valentin Carboni, Faris Moumbagna, Ruben Blanco).
“We will see with the medical team how long he can play”
The return of Quentin Merlin is very good news for Roberto DeZerbiwho often had to tinker in his absence. However, he is not expected to start the match after almost two months of absence. “ Quentin (Merlin) could, a priori, play part of the match. Then we will see with the medical team how long he can play and what is the best solution: start him or start on the bench “, declared the coach of theABOUT Friday at a press conference.
