Asked about his long-term injured, Nabil Bentaleb and Samuel Umtiti, Bruno Genesio gave an update this Monday on their individual development.
It has already been many weeks since the names of Nabil Bentaleb and Samuel Umtiti were mentioned when it was necessary to draw up the list of absentees in Lille and this Monday, the round of 16 of the Coupe de France did not upset this habit. Bruno Genesio, however, this time, was questioned about the evolution of their case at a press conference. The transition to the year 2025 is an opportunity to hear from them.
Nabil Bentaleb
Out of sight, in complete discretion, Nabil Bentaleb continues his convalescence process on the lawns of the Domaine de Luchin, we could read in our columns in recent days. The Lille technician detailed his own observations this Monday:
“Nabil (Bentaleb) has been with us for a few days already. He trains individually with a physical trainer. For the rest, I cannot communicate on information that is confidential. The only thing I know is that he has resumed individual training with the ball.
I saw him two or three days in a row. He is good, has morale, is motivated. I can't answer anything other than that.”confided Bruno Genesio.
Samuel Umtiti
The other big absentee, in addition to Tiago Santos, is none other than Samuel Umtiti. Having knee surgery in February 2024, he is also present at the LOSC training center:
“Regarding Sam’ (Umtiti), he is doing well toobegins Bruno Genesio, who had worked with him in Lyon before Lille. He is continuing a program following the surgery he had to undergo. He is also continuing an individual recovery program with the physical trainers for the moment. Its evolution is done day by day, to see if it picks up or not. It’s the same for him, I don’t have all the data, I’m not a doctor, to communicate on these specific cases”the technician quickly said, not wishing to linger on the subject any longer.
