The right side does not seem to have recovered from his physical glitch in the Achilles tendon. From there to missing the match against Lorient on Sunday?
But where is Mikkel Desler hiding? It’s no longer a secret, the indefatigable Danish defender is tired. “He has a small problem with his Achilles tendon,” explained his trainer, Philippe Montanier last week, before the trip to Troyes. After having played the entire meeting, the Téféciste moped does not seem to have resolved its physical problem.
According to our information, Mikkel Desler did not take part in Tuesday afternoon’s mini-training session with the starters and he was still absent from the Ile du Ramier grounds yesterday morning. The right side was still spared, chomping at the bit indoors doing reinforcement work with the Téféciste medical team. To remedy his absence, Philippe Montanier is counting in particular on the young Kévin Keben, who is experiencing his first moments as a professional. If the Achilles tendon concerns continue for Desler, the Toulouse staff could be tempted to line him up against Lorient on Sunday (3 p.m. at the Stadium).
Chaïbi and Ngoumou packages for Lorient
And Mikkel Desler is not the only one to be patient in the purple infirmary. Nathan Ngoumou, hit in the adductor is already forfeited for Sunday’s match. For his part, the new Toulouse nugget Farès Chaïbi is still convalescing, after having been operated on for appendicitis last week. The intervention went well and the Pitchoun was at the Stadium yesterday morning to have breakfast with his teammates. He will find his way back to the field in a few weeks.
