The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 midfielder has been out of action for over a month now but it appears that he is set to make a swift recovery from another injury
Sidelined since August 18, France international Yoann Gourcuff might be revived faster than many expected. Reports claim that Remi Garde’s medical staff at Olympique Lyonnais is working hard to quickly patch up the midfielder whose services will be sorely
needed in the upcoming Ligue 1 and Europa League games.
In http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Serbia-c3002, youngster Clement Grenier was injured which is indeed a major setback for Remi Garde who had started relying on him a lot since the beginning of the season.
After the international break is over, Olympique Lyonnais will host beleaguered Stade Brestois at the Stade de Gerland. Le Progres reports that former Fulham star http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steed-Malbranque-c33957 would be playing in Grenier/Gourcuff’s position in that game.
However, the French midfielder is not accustomed to playing as a proper number 10 which means that Remi Garde will eventually be forced to consider drafting Gourcuff back in the squad as quickly as possible.
To believe that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Yoann-Gourcuff-c37416 and the rest of the midfielders of Lyon can remain injury free is out of the question. In recent times, the Rhone giants have lost far too many midfielders to the treatment table.
However, the news that Gourcuff is on the road to recovery and has made swift progress would be a huge relief for Remi Garde who still believes in the player’s ability to turn things around. Since his arrival from Bordeaux for 22 million euros, the 26-year-old
has failed to make a lasting impression.
From injuries to poor performances, Christian Gourcuff’s son has seen it all. However, he made a good start to the current campaign which means that if Gourcuff manages to stay fit for at least the remainder of the campaign, Lyon would stand a fighting chance
of battling with the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 for the Ligue 1 Championelle.
As things stand, the native of Ploemeur is the club’s only hope. However, despite all this, it’s important that the player is not quickly drafted into the starting XI because in case of another relapse, Remi Garde might lose out on him for a very long time.
