Returning from injury in mid-August, Valentin Rongier does not yet seem to be at 100% of his physical capabilities and will still need time to regain his best level. The competition in midfield does not allow him, for the moment, to have significant playing time to get back into shape, having only played 12 minutes in the last three matches.
Despite his current situation and his decline in the hierarchy, Roberto De Zerbi assured that the former Nantes player would have a role to play very soon. “ He trains well. I spoke with him last week. Of course he knows, even if you train well, when you've spent so much time off the field, it's hard to get back into rhythm. Until now I have chosen other players, both from a technical and physical point of view. He also has this ability to play in different positions and he will undoubtedly be very useful very soon.«
In mid-October, Daniel Riolo explained for his part that OM would gain strength when Valentin Rongier returned to the starting lineup. “ I know that coaches need a lot of time to realize how important he is in a team, because he doesn't look like he is. But he's better than a lot of players on this team. Same right back, I would put it“, judged the journalist.
