Valenciennes will face a setback as striker Majeed Waris will be unavailable for their upcoming match against Nantes in the 34th day of Ligue 1. The Ghanaian international, who has been the club’s top scorer since the second half of the championship, is sidelined due to a minor calf strain. He has been undergoing treatment since Tuesday and is not expected to return to training until the middle of next week.
Since joining Valenciennes in January on loan from Spartak Moscow, Waris has made a significant impact, scoring 9 goals in 13 French championship matches. The 22-year-old forward aims to help Valenciennes avoid relegation and then represent Ghana in the 2014 World Cup.
Without Waris, Valenciennes will have to rely on other offensive options to secure a positive result against Nantes. The club’s squad for the upcoming match includes players like Da Silva, Dossevi, Doumbia, and Bahebeck, who will be tasked with filling the void left by Waris’ absence.
