Gary O’Neil eventually gave in to the medical staff’s advice and allowed his players a week off after their success in Nantes. However, the international players were not included in the break as they will be on duty with their respective national teams.
While the team has not officially announced anything about their striker, it is expected that he will undergo further medical examinations and possibly a surgical procedure in Alsace.
The atmosphere may be a bit tense on Monday as training resumes in a limited capacity but open to the public. Supporters will have one last chance to attend a session on Tuesday before Strasbourg prepares for the match against Nice on Saturday, which will be played behind closed doors on Thursday and Friday.
The first two training sessions of the week will determine if the injured players – Emegha, Moreira, Chilwell, and Anselmino (hamstrings) – are fit to return. Crucial matches await the team in the French Cup and Conference League in April.
Note: The article also lists the international players who will not be getting a break.
