MHSC: Victim of repeated blows, playmaker Téji Savanier is uncertain for the trip to Lens

Téji Savanier, victime de pépins physiques, ne sera peut-être pas du voyage à Lens ce dimanche. MAXPPP – JEAN MICHEL MART

Le capitaine du MHSC Téji Savanier est incertain pour le déplacement à Lens, dimanche 8 décembre, alors que Tanguy Coulibaly sera suspendu et Akor Adams probablement de retour.  

A bump on the ankle, a bump on the back of the head. Téji Savanier has been taking the hits lately and is training intermittently. The captain of MHSC is once again uncertain about his presence on Sunday in Lens during the 14th day of Ligue 1.

Two days after the draw against Lille (2-2), and an aerial duel with Ayyoub Bouaddi, the playmaker has been working out in the gym. On Wednesday, during his first jog of the week, he felt the effects of this shock and a pain in his jaw. With a prescription in hand, he went to undergo tests to refine the diagnosis.

Ligue 1: the ranking and the program for the 14th day

The previous week, the prodigy of the Cité Gély had been rested due to a sharp pain in an ankle, following a rough and involuntary contact with the giant of Saint-Etienne Yunis Adbelhamid.

Coulibaly and Nzingoula suspended

In addition to Téji Savanier, the striker Wahbi Khazri, replaced on Sunday after an hour of play, chained the field laps with the physical trainer to relieve a discomfort in the hamstrings of a thigh. Neither of them raises much concern, but their state of fatigue requires the precautions of the staff.

While winger Tanguy Coulibaly, sent off against Lille, will be suspended, as will Rabby Nzingoula, the young Franco-Moroccan Othmane Maamma has resumed team training. Clearly recovered from a muscle injury, he could make his return to Bollaert, the land of his first goal in Ligue 1 last May (2-2).

Adams can apply to Lens

The other injured players are making progress little by little. Thus, having recovered from a torn thigh, sustained against Brest (3-1) on November 10, center forward Akor Adams is likely to return to the group during the week. On Wednesday, the Nigerian had an individual session alongside midfielder Birama Touré, who is recovering, and defender “Kiki” Kouyaté. Troubled by chronic inflammation, the Malian international (27 years old) was forced to have an operation on his right knee at the beginning of October.

The former Metz rock is now jogging without pain and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Kouyaté, expected after the winter break, will not be in Lens to challenge the three big guns of the northern defense: Kévin Danso, Facundo Medina and Abdukodir Khusanov. The latest Uzbek find (20 years old) is shaking up the market even before Christmas.
