Lorient and their coach Christian Gourcuff have received positive news with the return of one of their key attackers, Alain Traoré. The Burkinabé player, who has only featured twice in the season due to a torn quadriceps in his left thigh, has made his comeback. He has been selected in the Lorient squad for the match against PSG at the Parc des Princes in the opening fixture of the 12th day of Ligue 1. Traoré’s return is timely for both Lorient and the Burkina Faso national team, who are set to face Algeria in the return leg of the play-offs for the 2014 World Cup. The 25-year-old striker has two weeks to regain full fitness ahead of this crucial encounter.
