Having left prematurely from the match between LOSC and Stade Rennais this Sunday, Edon Zhegrova was not present at training this Tuesday morning, at least for the fifteen minutes open to the press.
There have been numerous pitfalls in Lille since the start of the season, where Bruno Genesio and his technical staff have been forced to navigate against all odds to string together good results. The mission is however accomplished, at least for the moment, with an intoxicating series of eleven appearances in all competitions without setbacks.
This Sunday again, LOSC defeated Stade Rennais (1-0), in a match that looked like a trap, to continue its momentum. This success was achieved thanks to an achievement by Edon Zhegrova at the end of the first period (44′). The Kosovar was also agitated at the end of the match, leaving the field prematurely. On the ground before being replaced by Osame Sahraoui (87′), he seemed to complain about the left adductor. His case was not mentioned at the press conference at the final whistle.
Two days later, this Tuesday before the European clash with Bologna FC in the Champions League, Edon Zhegrova (25 years old) did not appear on the lawn of the Domaine de Luchin. The Kosovar was absent from this last training session, at least from the first fifteen minutes accessible to the press, in the same way as André Gomes and Angel Gomes, whose physical problems were recently made official.
The Mastiffs, ready to discover the new opponent that is Bologna, will fly around 5:30 p.m. to Italy and the fifth day of the Champions League league phase. It begins this evening (Tuesday) with a duel between Slovan Bratislava and AC Milan, like a feeling of déjà vu for Paulo Fonseca. The former LOSC coach saw his men neutralized (1-1) in Slovakia last season in the Europa Conference League.
