Ibrahima Wadji, the Senegalese striker for AS Saint-Étienne, is grappling with another setback in what has proven to be a challenging season. The player, who recently returned from injury, has experienced a new relapse, rendering him unavailable for the upcoming match against Angers.
Wadji’s season has been marked by a series of obstacles, with the latest setback occurring during the preparation session for the match against Angers.
The striker, who had just returned to training without incident earlier in the week, encountered muscle pain in his thigh during the last preparation session.
AS Saint-Étienne released a statement on the matter, stating, “This Friday morning, Ibrahima Wadji was unable to complete the entire last preparation session for the match against Angers due to muscle pain felt in his thigh.
The striker is unfortunately out of Angers-ASSE and remains awaiting the result of additional examinations requested by the medical staff.”
Wadji’s season has been characterized by limited playing time, with only two appearances in Ligue 2. Following his initial absence from the squad for an extended period, he made a return during the victory against Laval.
However, the joy was short-lived as he experienced a relapse due to muscle pain, leading to his absence until the recent break.
Despite making efforts to contribute to AS Saint-Étienne’s campaign, Wadji’s recurring fitness issues have proven to be a significant challenge.
The club and its supporters had hoped for his sustained presence, considering the impact he demonstrated during his initial season with Saint-Etienne.
The player’s current situation prompts further examination by the medical staff, with the outcome of additional tests expected to provide clarity on the extent of the injury and the subsequent course of action.
The news of Wadji’s latest setback is undoubtedly a concern for both the player and the club as they navigate the demanding challenges of the football season.
