Geoffrey Kondogbia

Trains fully on first day

Kondogbia trained fully without issue on the first day of Marseille's preseason, the club posted.

Analysis: Kondogbia's clean bill of health is a welcome sign after a season plagued by muscular issues, including a thigh injury that sidelined him down the stretch. His health will be closely monitored as preseason progresses, but a smooth start bodes well for his chances of being fully available for Marseille's season opener. If he stays healthy, expect Kondogbia to regain his spot as a key piece of new coach Bruno Genesio's midfield setup.
