Option moving forward
Zakaria (groin) was spotted training fully this week and will be an option for Saturday's friendly against Pisa as well as when Ligue 1 resumes next Saturday against Toulouse, the club posted.
Analysis: Zakaria had withdrawn from the Switzerland squad to rest during the international break due to adductor discomfort, an issue that had worsened before being substituted in the recent win over Lens rather than completing a full match for the first time this season. His return to full training now confirms his recovery is complete, giving Monaco back its midfield partnership of Zakaria and Lamine Camara, which has been one of the foundations of the club's strong start atop Ligue 1.
Withdraws from Switzerland squad
Zakaria has withdrawn from the Switzerland squad and will rest during the international break due to adductor discomfort, according to Flavien Tresarrieu of L'Equipe.
Analysis: Zakaria had been carrying the discomfort for several days before it worsened in Friday's win over Lens, a match in which he was substituted in the 76th minute rather than completing the full 90 for the first time this season. He said afterward that it was a bit physical and will now stay in Monaco to receive treatment and maximize his recovery during the extended September-October international break. His absence at the resumption of the season would be a notable concern given his midfield partnership with Lamine Camara has been one of the foundations of the club's strong start atop Ligue 1.
