«We are worried about his ankle, but it is premature to talk about an operation. We are still far from this, and might even return to training next week”. In the press conference on Thursday morning, Frédéric Antonetti spoke reassuring words regarding the injury affecting Kader Mangane since a few months.
According to L’Équipe, Mangane’s visit to a specialist in Paris on Thursday proved the Rennes manager right. An operation is not on the agenda. However, the Senegal defender will have to rest for another ten days, which should keep him out of the games against Udinese and Nice.
