24-Year-Old
AJ Auxerre
Ligue 1
Back in training after injury
Akpa (groin) returned to training with Auxerre on Monday after missing the 2026 World Cup due to injury, according to Lyonne Auxerre.
ANALYSIS
Akpa was ruled out of the Ivory Coast's World Cup squad after a groin injury prevented him from participating in the tournament, but the defender now appears to be back on track for the start of the 2026-27 campaign. After receiving additional rest during the offseason, the 24-year-old rejoined the squad and took part in Monday's training session. His return is an encouraging sign for Auxerre, as Akpa was a regular starter last season with 21 starts in 26 Ligue 1 appearances before his injury setback.
