CJ Egan-Riley

Recovered from quadriceps injury

Egan-Riley has recovered from his quadriceps injury and is training in full during preseason under new coach Bruno Genesio, the club posted.

Analysis: Egan-Riley's clean bill of health is an encouraging sign after the issue limited him late last season, and a full preseason under the new coaching staff could open the door for a larger role in central defense heading into the 2026/27 Ligue 1 season. His sensations over the coming weeks will be key in determining whether he can push for a regular spot in the Phoceens' defense.
