Sochaux v ASSE injury update, Davitashvili hoped to travel for Ligue 2 opener | OneFootball

ASSE could have Zuriko Davitashvili back for the Ligue 2 opener at Sochaux on Saturday, kick-off 20:45. According to Le Progres, the Georgian trained with the squad this week and may return to the squad.

It would be the club’s sole return compared with pre-season. Davitashvili was named last season’s Ligue 2 player of the year.

He had been managed in recent weeks because of a muscle issue, while uncertainty over a possible departure also lingered, as it did last summer.

Head coach Ian Cathro hopes to involve him at Sochaux, though Davitashvili did not feature in any pre-season matches.

Elsewhere, there will be a further wait for Old, Lamba and El Jamali to return. No return dates were provided.

Jaber is closer to the group, having completed a strong session this week.
