FC Lorient faces the possibility of being without Bruno Ecuele Manga for their upcoming match against Marseille in Ligue 1. The Gabonese central defender sustained a knee injury last week, casting doubt on his availability for the fixture at the Vélodrome.
As of Tuesday, Ecuele Manga remained in treatment, with the progress of his recovery described as slow by Christian Gourcuff, the Lorient coach. Gourcuff stated that they would reassess Ecuele Manga’s condition on Wednesday to determine his availability for the weekend match against Marseille. While there is hope that Ecuele Manga may return to training before the end of the week, his participation in the Marseille fixture remains uncertain.
