Tosin Aiyegun has recovered from a thigh injury that kept him sidelined for nearly a month and is set to rejoin FC Lorient’s squad for their upcoming match against Grenoble.
The Beninese forward has received medical clearance and is now available for selection by head coach Olivier Pantaloni.
Aiyegun sustained the injury in early March, forcing him to miss a series of fixtures, including two crucial matches for Lorient and two international appearances for Benin.
His absence was keenly felt, particularly during the international break, when his attacking prowess could have bolstered Benin’s frontline.
Timely return for Lorient
The 25-year-old’s return comes at a crucial juncture for Lorient, who are looking to strengthen their attacking options as they navigate the latter stages of the season.
His pace and technical ability have been valuable assets for the team, and his reintegration into the squad is expected to provide a much-needed boost.
Aiyegun has undergone an intensive rehabilitation program to regain full fitness.
The forward has been working closely with Lorient’s medical and coaching staff to ensure he is ready to contribute upon his return.
With the green light from the medical team, he is now set to rejoin matchday preparations.
Looking ahead
Having missed four matches in total, Aiyegun is eager to make up for lost time and help Lorient in their campaign.
His presence in the squad provides Pantaloni with additional attacking options as the team looks to climb the table.
For the Beninese international, the focus now shifts to regaining his rhythm and making an immediate impact upon his return to the pitch.
