Issam Ben Khemis started training for the Girondins de Bordeaux separately, and for good reason, he was at the end of treatment for pubalgia, contracted at the end of last season, and for which he immediately had surgery on July 11. So yes, it was a short time to find a club capable of waiting, in a world of football where there is no time to wait.
If some supporters have been asking for it in recent weeks in National 2, everything comes in time to those who wait, because you don't come back from pubalgia quickly: you have to be patient. Especially since, as the person concerned confides, he did not originally come for the N2 team, but for the Girondins reserve, coached by Erwan Lannuzel. This is what he entrusted in particular to Sud Ouest.
“With Angoulême, there was a desire to continue but I had requests in N1. As I decided to have surgery straight away, everything was slowed down: clubs want players ready straight away. In mid-August, when I had nothing, Erwann Lannuzel reached out to me. And they agreed that I could do my rehabilitation here. I knew the injury was going to set me back in preparation. I set goals for myself every day. There is no room for ego in this project. I don't forget that I came for the N3, it's up to me to show. »
