Cleared for Angers match
Mbamba (hamstring) is available for Sunday's Ligue 1 clash against Angers after recovering from injury and returning to team training, according to coach Alexandre Dujeux, per Ouest France.
Analysis: Mbamba has recovered from a hamstring injury sustained during training in mid-September, which forced him to miss several Ligue 1 matches. The midfielder recently resumed full team training and has now been cleared to return to competitive action ahead of Sunday's trip to Angers. His injury interrupted a promising start to the season, having scored his first goal for Lorient against Toulouse before being sidelined. Mbamba will compete with Arthur Avom for playing time in midfield, although a substitute appearance could be his first step toward regaining a regular role after several weeks out.
Returns to team training
Mbamba has resumed full team training after recovering from a hamstring injury suffered in mid-September and should be available for Sunday's Ligue 1 encounter against Angers, the club posted.
Analysis: Mbamba is closing in on his return to competitive action after spending several weeks on the sidelines with a hamstring injury sustained during training in mid-September. The midfielder had initially hoped to return following the international break, but his recovery took longer than expected, forcing him to miss several additional Ligue 1 fixtures. His return to team training represents a significant step forward, and he should now be an option for Sunday's clash against Angers, although his playing time could be managed given his extended absence. The injury interrupted a promising start to the campaign, coming shortly after he scored his first goal for Lorient against Toulouse. Mbamba will now look to regain match fitness and compete with Arthur Avom for playing time in midfield, with a substitute appearance potentially representing the first step toward reclaiming a more prominent role.
