Ainsley Maitland-Niles
28-Year-Old
Lyon
Ligue 1
Available against Angers
Maitland-Niles (adductor) was back training with the squad this week and is available to play for Sunday's clash against Angers, according to coach Paulo Fonseca, per Le Progres OL. "Maitland-Niles is available to play."
ANALYSIS
Maitland-Niles had been left out of the squad for the last five games while working his way back to full fitness. His return to the training pitch is a big boost for Lyon, as he is expected to regain his undisputed starter role in the back line for the Gones. Hans Hateboer has been filling in at right-back during his absence, but if the Englishman is fully fit again, he should keep the role for the remainder of the season.
