Gueida Fofana Nearing Return After Long Injury Layoff
There’s a glimmer of hope for Gueida Fofana and Olympique Lyonnais fans. The midfielder, sidelined since March 16 due to a serious ankle injury, is showing signs of progress in his recovery. After undergoing what coach Hubert Fournier described as a “sort of bone graft”, Fofana made a low-key but encouraging appearance at Lyon’s training center this Wednesday.
Although he didn’t take part in the team’s training session, his presence alone was enough to boost morale. Speaking to the media, Fofana shared that he’s feeling better and is planning to resume cycling sessions shortly—a significant milestone in his rehabilitation.
If his recovery continues on track, the return of Fofana to Ligue 1 action could be just around the corner, much to the relief of OL, who have missed his midfield presence. The road back may still be cautious and gradual, but the signs are finally positive for one of French football’s most promising talents.
