David N’Gog Returns to Training After Mysterious Absence
David N’Gog has returned to action after several days away from Stade de Reims due to a bout of gastroenteritis. The striker’s unexplained absence last week had sparked confusion and speculation within the club and among supporters, especially as management reportedly had difficulty contacting him.
Reims head coach Jean-Luc Vasseur addressed the situation at the time with uncertainty, stating: “Apparently, David is bedridden with a virus. That’s all I know.”
Although no detailed explanation has been given, N’Gog’s return is confirmed, and it comes at a crucial moment. Reims are in serious trouble in Ligue 1, sitting 19th in the standings, and struggling on both ends of the pitch. With goals hard to come by, N’Gog’s presence could provide a much-needed boost to the attack as they try to climb out of the relegation zone.
The 25-year-old, who was born in France but is of Cameroonian descent, will be looking to get back into rhythm quickly and contribute to turning his team’s fortunes around.
