Esteban Lepaul

Lepaul (leg) suffered a very bad knock against Monaco that revealed to be minor since he resumed team training since Tuesday and is an option for Friday's clash against Metz, coach Habib Beye said in the press conference. "Esteban? He resumed training calmly on Tuesday, without any particular pain."

Lepaul suffered a very bad knock to his tibia in Saturday's 4-1 victory against Monaco and will have to be monitored in the coming days, coach Habib Beye said in a press conference, according to Ouest France. "He suffered a really hard knock. My fear was that the players all looked at me and said he'd broken his tibia... Breel came over to me and said, 'It's broken, it's broken!' I thought it was serious. His tibia was badly marked, it deserved a red card. Fortunately, he was able to continue, but we had to take him off because he was in a lot of pain. We'll look into it, because it's a knock that could be a problem for training with the hematoma in 48 hours."

Lepaul scored three goals to go with five shots (four on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 4-1 victory against Strasbourg.

Lepaul scored one goal and assisted once from three shots and one chance created in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Toulouse.

Lepaul assisted once to go with four shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus AJ Auxerre.
