Noah Edjouma
B29
Available against Nice
Edjouma is available for Friday's Ligue 1 clash against Nice after missing Saturday's match against Lille due to an agreement between the two clubs related to his loan.
Analysis: Edjouma was unavailable against his parent club Lille due to a loan agreement, but he is now eligible to return to Brest's squad for Friday's meeting with Nice. The midfielder has primarily featured in a substitute role this season, providing additional depth in the middle of the park. He is expected to resume his usual role as an option off the bench rather than immediately challenge for a starting position.
Will miss Saturday's match
Edjouma will not take part in Saturday's match for Brest against Lille due to an agreement between the two clubs, LePetitLillois.
Analysis: Edjouma had recently returned from a hamstring issue during the international break, but he will not be an option for this specific fixture, although this has to do with the nature of his loan from Lille instead of a new fitness-related issue. Edjouma will be eligible to return for the match against Nice on Friday, Oct. 23.
Back in action in friendly
Edjouma (hamstring) came off the bench in Saturday's friendly against Monza.
Analysis: Edjouma has returned to training on the pitch after a hamstring injury disrupted the start of his loan spell at Brest. The forward made his debut for the club with a 24-minute substitute appearance against Le Havre, but he suffered a setback during that brief outing.
Ruled out until after international break
Edjouma (hamstring) is ruled out until after the international break due to an injury, according to coach Julien Lachuer, per Le Telegramme.
Analysis: Edjouma joined Brest this summer on a season long loan from Lille, having made five appearances there last season, including two in the Europa League, following his move from Toulouse. This early setback is a disappointing start to his time at the club, and his path back into contention will be worth monitoring once he returns from the layoff.
Joins Brest on loan
Edjouma has joined Brest on a season-long loan from Lille for the 2026/27 campaign.
Analysis: Edjouma heads to Brest in search of increased first-team opportunities after making five appearances for Lille last season, including two in the Europa League, following his February move from Toulouse. The 20-year-old winger can operate on either flank or in a more central attacking role, giving Brest additional versatility in the final third. After remaining an unused substitute in Lille's league clash against Angers, Edjouma should have a better opportunity to earn regular minutes with Brest during his loan spell.
Fit to play
Edjouma (thigh) is not listed on the injury report, is expected to train Saturday and will be fit to play if selected for Sunday's clash against Monaco, with coach Bruno Genesio set to decide whether to include him in the senior squad for the weekend fixture.
Analysis: Edjouma had been ruled out of last weekend's clash against Le Havre with thigh pain, but his swift recovery puts him right back in contention for the final fixture of Lille's season. The midfielder has mainly operated as a bench option since his arrival, and coach Genesio will weigh his fitness and form before making a final call on whether he travels with the senior squad for Sunday's clash against Monaco.
Suffers thigh pain
Edjouma is ruled out of Sunday's clash against Le Havre after feeling pain in his thigh, according to coach Bruno Genesio. "Noah felt pain in his thigh, he will be rested for a few days."
Analysis: Edjouma has mainly operated as a bench option for Lille since his arrival, so his absence is unlikely to significantly disrupt the starting lineup against Le Havre. The club will monitor his condition over the coming days before making a call on his availability for the remaining fixtures of the season.
