Available for Lyon clash
Baidoo (thigh) is available to play after recovering from the injury that had kept him sidelined since preseason, according to coach Yannick Cahuzac, per Lensois. "We've got Baidoo back. It's good to have him back, and he's ready to play."
Analysis: Baidoo's clearance represents a major step after the thigh injury suffered during a preseason friendly against Charleroi initially left him facing around three months on the sidelines. The defender is now in contention for Friday's clash against Lyon after returning to training, though his lengthy absence could lead Lens to manage his minutes initially. His return also provides manager Yannick Cahuzac with another option in central defense.
Returns to training
Baidoo (thigh) was present at Lens' training session Wednesday as he continues his recovery from a thigh injury, according to Lensois.
Analysis: Baidoo's return to the training pitch represents a significant step in his recovery after initially being expected to miss around three months with the thigh injury suffered during a preseason friendly against Charleroi. The defender has been sidelined since then and will likely need time to rebuild his fitness before being considered for competitive action. His involvement Wednesday nevertheless suggests he is progressing toward a return to the squad.
