Concerning the first named, injured yesterday in training, Claude Puel brought some small details, wanting to be rather reassuring: “It will not be available on Sunday. We’ll see for the rest. He injured his hip muscle and left leg ischios. We were scared, but it wasn’t a serious injury after all“, launched the ASSE coach in a press conference, about his central defender and captain.
