Valenciennes faces a setback in their battle for survival as their prolific striker, Majeed Waris, has suffered an injury during training. Coach Ariël Jacobs confirmed the news on Tuesday, stating that Waris sustained a calf contusion as a result of a blow received in the morning session. Despite the injury, the Ghanaian forward is expected to be available for the upcoming match against Nantes.
Since joining Valenciennes on loan from Spartak Moscow earlier this year, Waris has been instrumental for the team, netting an impressive 9 goals in just 12 league appearances. His goal-scoring prowess has been crucial for Valenciennes in their bid to avoid relegation, with only PSG’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic boasting a better goal tally in France in 2014. The injury to Waris comes as a blow to Valenciennes, who heavily rely on his contributions in their fight for survival in Ligue 1.
