Francis Coquelin
34-Year-Old
Nantes
Ligue 1
GTD
Injury Undisclosed
Est. Return 4/5/2026
Back on training pitch
Coquelin (undisclosed) was spotted training on the side during the international break, going through runs, ball work and reinforcement exercises, the club posted.
ANALYSIS
Coquelin has been plagued by injuries all season long and missed the Strasbourg clash, but getting back on the pitch is at least a step in the right direction. His status remains uncertain heading into the April. 5. relegation showdown against Metz, particularly with new coach Vahid Halilhodzic now calling the shots and his place in the pecking order unclear. Johann Lepenant and Louis Leroux have been holding things down in midfield during his absence and could hold onto those roles depending on how the new staff assesses the situation.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Still looking for new team
Coquelin is hopeful to find a new team during the January transfer window, according to L'Equipe. "I didn't have a concrete project, there was Lille but they turned to other profiles; Montpellier too. I have the motivation but if at the end of January, I'm not in a club that interests me, we'll start to ask ourselves questions."
ANALYSIS
The 33-year-old left Villarreal at the end of his contract in the summer, and he is hopeful of finding a new team before the end of January. Teams from lower leagues, such as the MLS and the Saudi Pro League, could start knocking on his door if he's unable to secure a move to one of the top leagues in Europe.
