Good news for Saint-Etienne and the Ivory Coast national team, the Elephants. Max-Alain Gradel, who had been sidelined due to a serious knee injury since March, resumed running at the training center in Etrat. The Ivorian midfielder, who underwent rehabilitation for several weeks, started with light jogging around the field without involving any ball work. While he won’t be part of the team traveling to Moldova for the European Cup return match, Gradel aims to regain full fitness for the start of the Ligue 1 season, although there’s some uncertainty regarding his timeline.
