Josh Maja
LEH
Scores twice in impressive cameo
Maja scored two goals to go with three shots (three on goal) in Sunday's 4-3 defeat versus Marseille.
Analysis: Maja scored twice during 29 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 4-3 defeat at Marseille, nearly inspiring an extraordinary comeback after Le Havre had fallen four goals behind. He threatened almost immediately after entering, forcing Emerson into a goal-line clearance, before converting a penalty in the 77th minute to give the visitors hope. Maja completed his brace in the 89th minute by connecting with Kaito Mizuta's delivery, bringing Le Havre within one goal and making a strong case for increased playing time.
Cleared to face Auxerre
Maja (knee) is available for selection against Auxerre on Sunday after being named in Le Havre's matchday squad despite earlier doubts surrounding his fitness.
Analysis: Maja had been considered doubtful for Sunday's meeting with Auxerre due to a knee issue, but he has recovered sufficiently to be included in the squad. The attacker delivered his strongest performance of the season against Toulouse before the international break and will be hoping to build on that display. Having returned to Ligue 1 after five years away, Maja now has an opportunity to maintain his momentum, although his starting status remains uncertain following the recent fitness concern.
Doubtful for Auxerre clash
Maja (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's Ligue 1 matchup against Auxerre due to a fitness concern, according to coach Didier Digard, per Doyens.
Analysis: Maja faces uncertainty ahead of Sunday's clash against Auxerre after delivering his strongest performance of the season before the break against Toulouse. Having returned to Ligue 1 after five years away, Maja was hoping to build momentum following his breakthrough performance, but his potential absence could interrupt that progress. Further updates will be needed to determine whether he can recover in time to feature Sunday.
Scores first season goal
Maja scored a goal off four shots (two on target), created three chances and drew two fouls during Saturday's 3-2 loss against Toulouse.
Analysis: Maja had his best performance of this start of campaign by a mile and that included his first goal, an easy slot-in after a pass from the right in the 71st minute. In his return to Ligue 1 after five years, the forward will hope this is the start of better things to come and try to keep it up after the international break.
Completes Le Havre move
Maja has completed a permanent transfer from West Bromwich to Le Havre on a one-year contract. The contract includes an option for the 2027/28 season.
Analysis: Maja had been playing for Albion in the last three seasons, and he bagged four goals in 40 matches (15 starts) in 2025/26. He will add some much-needed depth in the striker role for Le Havre.
