Rafik Messali

Back in mix during preseason

Messali is training in full during preseason with Toulouse, confirming he has recovered from the injuries he sustained last season, the club posted.

Analysis: Messali's clean bill of health is a positive sign after ankle and hamstring issues sidelined him for three months down the stretch last season. With a full preseason under his belt, he will look well positioned to regain a regular role heading into the 2026/27 Ligue 1 campaign under new coach Jens Berthel Askou.
