Still not fully fit
Magnetti (hamstring) is absent from the friendly against Nottingham Forest, still not physically ready, but hopes to be back for the season opener against Le Mans, the club announced.
Analysis: Magnetti had already missed a friendly against Stade Briochin with a hamstring injury, and this continued absence suggests his recovery is progressing more slowly than hoped. Joris Chotard and Hamidou Makalou have been deployed in central midfield in his absence, and his continued unavailability would represent a significant loss for Brest's system given his constant presence last season, when he averaged 28.6 accurate passes and 4.9 ball recoveries per game. Magnetti is expected to be reassessed as the club approaches the season opener.
Sidelined with hamstring blow
Magnetti did not take part in Wednesday's friendly game versus Stade Briochin due to a hamstring injury, Martial Goarnisson of MareeRouge.com reports.
Analysis: Magnetti is not fully fit and may be a big doubt for the opening stages of the season, with both Joris Chotard and Hamidou Makalou deployed in central midfield behind Romain Del Castillo in the recent practice match. It remains unclear when Magnetti will complete his recovery, but his absence would imply a significant loss in Brest's system given his constant presence last season, in which he averaged 28.6 accurate passes and 4.9 ball recoveries per game.
