AJ Auxerre, LOSC's next opponent in Ligue 1, wasted no time on the transfer market with the return of young Han-Noah Massengo to Yonne.
Revenge following the draw (1-1) recorded a few days earlier against Nantes, LOSC is impatient to find AJ Auxerre, ninth in the standings and a real surprise at the start of the season. The young promotion, who hosts the Dogues as part of the seventeenth day of Ligue 1 McDonald's, does not however intend to let himself be walked on without a fight, like a management which is already strengthening its workforce with the aim of to continue its good momentum in the second part of the season.
When LOSC announced the loss of Matias Fernandez-Pardo, victim of an ankle injury, AJ Auxerre was delighted with the arrival of its first recruit of the winter in Yonne. Through a press release published in the afternoon, and a multitude of photos of all kinds, the Auxerre team formalized the return of Han-Noah Massengo (23 years old), on loan from Burnley until the end of season with purchase option. The midfielder finds this jersey and these colors that he had already defended during the second part of the 2022-2023 season. Lacking playing time in the Championship, where he has accumulated more than a hundred matches over the years, the Monegasque by training is trying to relaunch himself in a club he knows like the back of his hand.
Will he be ready to oppose LOSC this Friday, at 9 p.m.? It's hard to say. But what is certain is that there will be no problem adapting and that he is already familiar with the playing principles developed by Christophe Pélissier. He had, in any case, played his first minutes with AJA in Monaco barely two days after the formalization of his loan during his first visit at the start of 2023, before starting against Reims immediately. Distrust among Mastiffs.
