Emanuel Emegha
23-Year-Old
Strasbourg
Ligue 1
Set for bench role Saturday
Emegha (thigh) trained normally this week and is set to come off the bench for around 15 minutes in Saturday's clash against Nice, according to Cyril Olives Berthet of L'Equipe.
ANALYSIS
Emegha has logged just 414 minutes in Ligue 1 this season after a nightmare run of thigh injuries, but his comeback could not be more timely with Joaquin Panichelli (ACL) now lost for the season. The Dutch striker has been putting in serious work behind the scenes during his recovery, and Saturday's cameo will be his first step back into competitive action before he pushes to regain a starting role and his captain leadership with the Racing. With David Fofana as his main competition up front, Emegha will need to hit the ground running once he builds his fitness back up over the coming weeks.
