???? Two good news before the derby at ASSE

This Friday noon, Olivier Dall'Oglio appeared at a pre-match press conference to discuss the highly anticipated first derby of the season, which will take place on Sunday evening at Groupama Stadium at the end of this eleventh day of the French Championship of Ligue 1.

As usual, the AS Saint-Étienne coach began with a traditional update on his squad, which saw Yvann Maçon make his return during the reception of the Racing Club de Strasbourg. This week, Pierre Cornud et Ibrahim Wadji continued their rise in power, suggesting a possible return to the group for the derby. At the same time, Thomas Monconduit et Anthony Briançon have returned to the grounds of the Robert Herbin Sports Center and are getting closer to a return to collective training.

The news is good at the Robert Herbin Sports Center, since two players could return to the group this Sunday, as confided by the Greens coach who gave news of all the injured: “Ben Old is still in a splint for a while, we know it will last a long time. Anthony Briançon has resumed racing for several days, things are going well, Thomas Monconduit we are taking it slowly, these are the boys who are on the comeback .

We recorded the return of Ibrahima Wadji, he did a full week but also Pierre Cornud who did a full week without problem. For Cornud as for Wadji it's good, they lack playing time but it will come little by little. Physically, they are good. They are applying for a place in the group, there will be more thought tomorrow about that. Finally, Louis Mouton was spared at the start of the week after a blow to his hip, he resumed training this morning without problem.”

As a reminder, AS Saint-Étienne will be deprived of Matthew Cafaro for the derby. The winger must serve a one-match automatic suspension due to an accumulation of warnings.
