Absent in the previous match against Rennes due to injury, Carl Medjani is expected to make a comeback for Valenciennes against Evian. The defender, who had been sidelined with a quadriceps injury, has resumed training and could be available for the upcoming fixture at the Parc des Sports in Annecy on Saturday for the 29th day of Ligue 1.
“We intentionally had him train separately this morning. He is much better, and if he has no adverse reaction, I believe we can count on him on Saturday,” stated Valenciennes coach Ariel Jacobs on the club’s official website. This news comes as a relief for the northern club, currently fighting for survival in the league. Medjani, who was loaned from Olympiakos Piraeus during the winter transfer window, has become a crucial figure in Jacobs’ tactical setup.
Additionally, there are positive developments in the rehabilitation process of Benjamin Angoua. “His training sessions have shown progress since this morning,” added the coach. The Ivorian defender had been sidelined with a lateral knee ligament injury.
