Même if he didn’t really feel like it, Gary O’Neil eventually complied with the medical staff’s advice and gave his players a week off after their success in Nantes (2-3). A break that was not enjoyed by the international players (*) who will still be on duty at the beginning of the week with their respective national teams. If the Racing Club has not officially communicated about their striker yet, he was expected to quickly arrive in Alsace for further medical examinations and most likely to plan a surgical procedure.
L’ambiance pourrait être un peu lourde
The atmosphere could be a bit tense this Monday (3:45 pm) as training resumes with a reduced but public session. Fans will have one last chance to attend a session on Tuesday (11:15 am) before the Strasbourg team prepares for the match against Nice (Saturday at 5 pm) behind closed doors on Thursday and Friday, with Wednesday dedicated to recovery. The first two training sessions of the week will reveal if the injured players – Emegha, Moreira, Chilwell, and Anselmino (hamstrings) – are back on track as hoped, as crucial challenges await the Racing Club in the Coupe de France (semi-final) and the Conference League (quarter-final) in April.
