Leonardo Balerdi
27-Year-Old
Marseille
Ligue 1
Back available against Monaco
Balerdi (calf) is expected to train fully Saturday and is on track for Sunday's clash against Monaco, according to coach Habib Beye, per La Minute OM.
ANALYSIS
Balerdi had appeared to return too soon from his calf issue after featuring against Lille, but the international break gave him the extra time he needed to get back to full fitness. His return to the training pitch is welcome news for Marseille, with the Argentine center-back a locked-in starter when healthy and Benjamin Pavard, Facundo Medina and Conrad Egan-Riley all having been on standby to cover in his absence. Getting him back for the Monaco clash is a timely boost for coach Beye's side as they look to bounce back from the defeat to Lille before the break.
