We feared the worst on Sunday evening. Stopped dead on its way forward, hand behind his thigh, Youcef Atal sat down on the lawn of the Allianz Riviera and immediately asked for the change. A feeling of deja vu came over us. Except that the news is reassuring and his absence should be limited to a few days.
One or two games away?
Medical examinations carried out on Monday morning did not reveal any lesions. The Algerian side therefore stopped in time when he felt his thigh harden. Probably absent for the reception of Cologne and probably also for the trip to Ajaccio Sunday, Atal should be able to return quickly enough to the lawns to help the Gym to recover the head.
