Amidst concerns over his availability for the upcoming clash against Marseille, Lille’s Adam Ounas has made a swift recovery from a minor injury and is set to feature in the highly anticipated fixture this weekend.
The Algerian international, who sustained an injury during the closing stages of the northern derby against Lens last weekend, has successfully recuperated and has been included in the squad for the crucial encounter against Olympique de Marseille in the 28th round of Ligue 1 fixtures.
Having exited the infirmary following his injury scare, Ounas’ return to fitness comes as a relief to Lille manager, Paulo Fonseca.
The Portuguese tactician had expressed optimism regarding Ounas’ speedy recovery, a sentiment that has now been validated with the midfielder’s inclusion in the squad for the Marseille clash.
While Ounas’ availability for the match is confirmed, it remains uncertain whether he will feature in the starting lineup against Marseille.
Fonseca may opt to ease the 27-year-old midfielder back into action gradually, considering his recent injury concerns and the importance of managing his workload effectively.
Despite enduring a challenging season marked by recurring injuries, Ounas remains a key asset for Lille, with his talent and versatility offering valuable contributions to the team’s campaign.
Despite being limited to just 16 appearances in Ligue 1 this season, Ounas has demonstrated his capabilities with a solitary goal, showcasing glimpses of his potential when fully fit and firing on all cylinders.
As Lille prepares to take on Marseille in a pivotal encounter with European qualification implications, the return of Adam Ounas provides a timely boost for the team, offering Fonseca additional options and depth in midfield as they seek to secure a positive result against their formidable opponents.
