Amir Richardson and Junior Mwanga return as Le Havre seek lift after Monaco loss | OneFootball

Amir Richardson, 24, and Junior Mwanga, 23, returned to Le Havre this summer. After a subdued outing in the 1-0 defeat by Monaco last Sunday, the midfield pair are aiming to spark their seasons and help HAC as they visit Lyon on Saturday at 17:15 in Ligue 1’s matchday two.

Head coach Didier Digard said patience is needed with both players after complicated recent months. He added that this is part of why they are at the club, otherwise Le Havre would have had no chance of recruiting footballers of this calibre.

Richardson is a left-footed Morocco international with nine caps. Mwanga is ambidextrous, formerly of France Under-20s, with six caps and one goal.

Both left strong impressions in previous spells. Richardson’s first stint ran from 2019 to 2023, while Mwanga featured from January to June 2025.

They now have an urgent need to bounce back. The trip to Lyon offers an early chance to set a new tone.
