Est. Return 2/7/2026
Stays in treatment
Faye (foot) made his return in Saturday's win against Haut Lyonnais in the Coupe de France but remained in treatment this week as he will require a few more weeks before being fit to play in Ligue 1, coach Olivier Pantaloni said to the media, according to Le Telegramme.
ANALYSIS
Faye made his return from his long term foot injury in Saturday's victory in the French Cup but the defender is still suffering from his injury since he stayed in treatment this week. Faye will need a few more weeks before being fit to play in the French top flight. Until then, Abdoul Bamo Meite is expected to see a larger role in the back-three of the Merlus.
