Yoann Gourcuff Makes Positive Strides in Recovery
Yoann Gourcuff has received some encouraging news in his recovery from injury, sparking optimism about his potential return to action for Olympique Lyonnais.
The 28-year-old midfielder, who has been sorely missed by both coach Rémi Garde and the Lyon squad, made significant progress in his rehabilitation on Friday. According to Football365, Gourcuff was able to run with some acceleration during his session and even participated in a tennis match as part of his recovery routine.
Gourcuff has been sidelined with a sprained ankle, an injury he sustained during the recent derby against AS Saint-Étienne, when he was tackled from behind by Renaud Cohade. The setback had cast doubt on whether the former Bordeaux player would feature for Lyon again this season.
However, these latest developments suggest that Gourcuff is moving closer to a return, potentially offering a boost to Lyon’s midfield options in the final stages of the campaign. With the season winding down, Lyon fans will be hopeful that their talismanic player can make a comeback and contribute to the team’s efforts in securing a strong finish.
