Monday, 29 players were expected at Groupama Ol Training Center for the resumption of Olympique Lyonnais. Among them, there was Corentin Tolisso, Georges Mikautadze, Malick Fofana or young people from the training center. After physical tests during the morning, the Gones chained at 5 p.m. with the training session, which was opened for 30 minutes to the press. Race -based heating, moving exercise with the least ball touches, work from the foot for the guards or oppositions on reduced land, the Lyonnais were able to touch the ball from the first session. Well almost all.
Convened for the recovery, Ernest Nuamah (injury), Jordan Veretout (personal reasons) and Orel Mangala were not on the meadow. In the rethletics phase, the Belgian chained the lands in the field with two physical preparers (Cédric Uras and Alexandre Fahri). “It's a blessing to run”also dropped them mangala in full effort. It must be said that the player has experienced difficult times in recent months. After only six months between Rhône and Saône (12 games, 2 goals), where he was loaned with purchase option, he was definitively bought for around € 23.4 million.
Mangala resumes ol
But Nottingham Forest, its former club, has retained a 10 % profit-sharing on the capital gain of a possible future transfer. In the process, the player, on which Pierre Sage did not count at the time, was sent on loan to Everton a year ago. A club with which he participated in 22 games in all competitions (1 goal). Holder in power, he was stopped in the midst by a knee injury (rupture of the crossed ligament) contracted during the match against Brighton on January 25. The Red Devil therefore had to pass on the billiards a few days later.
“The operation was a success. Thank you to the medical staff who contributed to its realization! Now my recovery begins. #Mangality “had written the player on his social networks. A few weeks later, Everton announced his return to Lyon after his loan. Meanwhile, the Belgian began all the rehabilitation work, knowing that this type of injury requires at least between 6 and 8 months of stopping. The environment could therefore be a reinforcement for OL where he will meet Paulo Fonseca and his staff.
The Belgian is in the blur
But a new start is not to be excluded as much as OL is in a delicate situation and has not closed the door for it as for others. If on the side of the club we are told that there is “Nothing to report” About him for the moment, in his entourage, we are admitted that it is a bit of the vague concerning him in particular because of his injury. But the idea is obviously to chain the matches as soon as he is handed over, he who has in sight the 2026 World Cup. The competition is fierce in the midfield and the places will be expensive within the selection overseen by Rudi Garcia. Although he recovers from his injury, the native of Brussels sees his name out of the hat out during this offseason.
A few weeks ago, the Italian press mentioned an interest from the Fiorentina. What we can confirm to you. The Viola appreciates its profile according to certain sources in Italy, which also told us that it appears on the extended list of Bologna and that it was proposed at Atalanta. English and German stables have taken some information about it concerning its state of form, its situation at OL and its availability has been said. But at present, no club has exceeded the stage of interest. For the moment, Orel Mangala is still in Lyon, where he is working hard to come back. It is his priority and the only one at the moment T.
