Axel Tuanzebe

Tuanzebe (fitness) is not yet ready to make his Auxerre debut as he needs additional preparation following his arrival from Burnley, according to coach Will Still. "Tuanzebe needs preparation."

Analysis: Tuanzebe will have to wait before making his first appearance for Auxerre as he works toward the required fitness level. The defender only completed his move from Burnley on Tuesday, so Auxerre are expected to give him time to build up before introducing him to competitive action. Once ready, the DR Congo international should compete for regular minutes in central defense.

Analysis: Tuanzebe spent the last two seasons in the Premier League, featuring for Ipswich Town and Burnley, and now he'll play in France for the first time in his career.
