Marius Louër
Resumes individual training
Louar (thigh) was working through individual sessions Tuesday while his teammates returned to team training, leaving his availability for Sunday's clash against Auxerre uncertain, according to Quentin Bosse of Ouest France.
Analysis: Louar had been left out of the matchday squad for the PSG fixture after picking up a thigh lesion, and his step back to individual work suggests he needs more time before rejoining the group. The young defender had been one of Angers' more consistent performers before the injury struck, and the club will monitor his progress over the coming days before making a call on his availability for the Auxerre clash. Abdoulaye Bamba is expected to continue covering in his absence in the meantime.
Late call for Saturday
Louar (thigh) is a late call for Saturday's clash against PSG, according to coach Alexandre Dujeux. "We still have some questions about who will be absent for this match. It is not certain that we will recover any of the injured players. For the next match, I hope to recover two or three."
Analysis: Louar had been one of Angers' more consistent performers in recent weeks, completing four consecutive Ligue 1 starts before the thigh issue emerged. Dujeux's cautious comments suggest the club is not counting on his availability for what is already a demanding fixture against PSG. Abdoulaye Bamba remains among the candidates to step in should Louar be unable to go Saturday.
Two tackles in start
Louar generated two crosses (zero accurate) and two tackles in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Le Havre.
Analysis: Louer earned his fourth consecutive start in the backline after seeing very little playing time prior to this run. Across those four starts, the defender has accumulated one interception, one block, nine clearances and 13 tackles, contributing at least one clearance and two tackles in each outing.
