Nguemo Returns to Training Boosts Bordeaux Ahead of Season Run-In
Girondins de Bordeaux have received a timely boost as midfielder Landry Nguemo made his return to full training this week, just in time for the final stretch of the Ligue 1 season.
The Cameroonian international had been sidelined since early March with a muscle injury but took part in the entire training session on Wednesday morning, signaling his recovery.
Nguemo’s return provides head coach Francis Gillot with a valuable midfield option as Bordeaux aim to finish the season on a high. The 28-year-old brings experience and stability to the side’s central unit, and his availability will be welcomed with four matches remaining.
Having missed several key games during his absence, Nguemo is now expected to be in contention for selection in the coming fixtures as Bordeaux continue their campaign against top-table opponents, including a challenging trip to Lille this weekend.
The former Celtic and AS Nancy player has been a consistent presence in Bordeaux’s midfield when fit, known for his ball-winning abilities and positional discipline. His return adds depth at a crucial moment as the club looks to climb the Ligue 1 standings.
Bordeaux currently sit in mid-table, with hopes of securing a respectable finish and building momentum for next season. With Nguemo back in the squad, Francis Gillot has more flexibility in midfield as he assesses his options for the run-in.
