The week promises to be very dense for Racing which after its first match in Anjou on Sunday will then have to continue in Ligue 1 on Wednesday (7 p.m.) at Saint-Étienne before returning to the Coupe de France on Saturday (2.15 p.m.) at the Red Star. (National).
To remain competitive and keep fresh, it is therefore important for Racing to be able to rely on an almost complete group at the start, as is the case with just the unavailability of Issiaga Sylla this weekend. The left piston experienced a muscle alert this week. ” Not necessarily a nasty problem, not a lesion, more of the order of contracture “, Said the coach who is hopeful of recovering his defender Monday in collective training.
“A lot of dynamism and will” at Ganago
The good news for RC Lens is that Ignatius Ganago will undoubtedly be back in the squad convened on Saturday evening after the last training session. Absent since the defeat against Nice (0-1 on January 23), the Cameroonian international striker is this time good for the service. ” He had a good week of collective training. Obviously he’s coming out of a hiatus of a few weeks so, in terms of pace, he’s not 100%. But he had a good week. He showed a lot of dynamism, a lot of willpower. And I know that in the next three games he will be able to help us at one point or another », Assured Franck Haise.
Three matches in one week …
The coach of the Sang et Or confirmed this Friday to work in anticipation to negotiate the sequence well. ” I have an idea of what I want to do over the three games, a pretty precise idea even. But each match will of course have to confirm or not my choices. Knowing that these are three away games in less than a week, finishing on synthetic (face au Red Star). And only two-day recovery moments. It changes a lot of things. There will be a workforce that will live on the three games, 16 or 17 players who will participate. »
