Succeeding Lucas Chevalier, Bruno Genesio in turn appeared before the media this Friday. The Lille technician was questioned at length on the subject of injuries, which are recurring in Lille.
There was some good news this Friday, with two fewer names on the little piece of paper that Bruno Genesio never forgets during his press conference appearances. Thus, Rémy Cabella and Ismaily are ready and able to return to competition. However, this is the tree that hides the forest while eight elements are still missing. These numerous injuries raise the question: should we find a well-defined origin for them?
“We must not go into psychosis”
“When you have injuries, obviously you wonderbegan Bruno Genesio, questioned on this subject as the final meeting of his third marathon this year approached. Initially, the injuries were joint with sprains, fractures and cruciates for Tiago (Santos). When you try to analyze all that, you can make them say anything. As we had a lot of players injured for a long term, we had fewer opportunities to rotate, which meant that the players who were not injured accumulated playing time, high intensity and, at one point given, there is fatigue which resurfaces and causes muscle injuries. We can think that it is linked to that »judges the Lille coach.
However, this is not the only potential explanation:
“We also wonder about the terrain, whether it is a little too hard or if when we change the surface, because they are not the same processes, if there is an impact. We wonder about everything, about prevention too, if we need to change things”he continued.
Despite everything, Bruno Genesio does not want to make it a state affair and is already planning, impatient to be able to reunite with his entire group, or almost, in the weeks to come: “I think what is most important is not to go into psychosis at these times. This, I think, is the best way to sink in. We took it (the accumulation of injuries, editor's note) with a lot of perspective, even if I would like there to be a lot fewer injuries. I think we will find a larger squad after the break with the returns of Hakon (Haraldsson), Thomas (Meunier), André (Gomes) and then, more in the long term, Ethan (Mbappé). We will find a larger workforce which will allow us to better manage each other's playing time”he mentioned at a press conference this Friday, two days before a trip to Nice.
