“It’s still painful.” Abdelmalek Amara is patient and impatient. It is still not operational. The bone problem at the fifth metatarsal of his left foot is dragging on.
The follow-up exam taken last week showed that healing was progressing. But the former Paris 13 Atletico striker, who appeared for only 120 minutes in the Championship and 34 in the Cup, still seems far from being able to take on the panoply of the offensive savior, he who was content, this Monday, January 6, to work physically.
The sick return to the field
Amara and Cozzella (left ischio), also in the rehabilitation phase, are the only two players stopped. The patients from last week are indeed back on the field. Ngapandouetnbu, Picouleau, Labonne, Lemaangr and Doukansy normally participated in the session this Monday afternoon.
On the program: exercises in front of goal (“Marquez, marquez, marquez”the staff often repeated), conservation and recovery work.
Three young people from the reserve still there
Among the twenty-three outfield players, there were still the young reserves Marwane Hermach (midfielder), Ahmedine Daoudi (forward) and Yanis Klitim (defender).
Delpech did not convince the Le Mans
Also present, Léon Delpech, tested last week at Le Mans (National), who is looking for a creative environment. The left-handed crocodile, at the end of his contract in June 2025 and never used this season by Hermach, participated with the Sarthe team, Saturday January 4, in the friendly match (4 periods of thirty minutes) won 6-0 against Châteaubriand (N2 ). He played for an hour.
His test was inconclusive. “We did not follow upindicates Patrich Videira, the Le Mans coach, to Midi Libre. The player is aware and the club too, I had Adil (Hermach) on the phone.”
