Stefan Bajic (18 years old) takes part in the summer preparation and is the lining of Jessy Moulin, following the update. Stéphane Ruffier’s gap. All these young players came out of the ASSE training center. For the first professional contracts, Lucas Gourna-Douath (16 years old), Mathys Saban (18 years old) and Étienne Green (20 years old) turned pros last June.
