Samir Chergui

Chergui (hamstring) resumed team training Tuesday and could return for the clash against Strasbourg on March. 15, according to Laurent Pruneta from Le Parisien.

Chergui (hamstring) is expected to miss at least one more month due to injury, coach Stephane Gilli said in the press conference, according to Laurent Pruneta from Le Parisien.

Chergui (hamstring) is set to miss a significant amount of time, coach Stephane Gilli explained in the press conference, according to Le Parisien. "In November, he had already left for international duty. He was just barely fit, but we let him go; we trusted him. Before the second match, he didn't train because he was feeling pain, but he played anyway. He came back injured, and we treated him throughout December before the Africa Cup of Nations. He rejoined his national team just barely fit. He didn't play the first match, but he played the second, during which he injured his other hamstring. I think it would have been better for him to come home, but he stayed there. He trained the day before the match against Nigeria. What started as a minor injury has now taken much longer. I'm a bit upset when players' health is taken lightly. We make them available, but I think national teams also need to respect the health of the players and their clubs. When you send a player and he comes back injured for an extended period, even though it was foreseeable, it's a problem. I'm disappointed for him because he almost missed the AFCON and will miss quite a few matches with us too."

Chergui (undisclosed) returned from the AFCON with an injury, according to Arnaud Hermant from L'Equipe.

Chergui is heading back to Paris after completing his international duty with Algeria at the AFCON and should be back available for Sunday's clash against Nantes as he wasn't included in the squad for the clash against PSG in the French Cup.
