Kyllian Antonio
LEN
Fit for Cup final
Antonio (undisclosed) is an option for Friday's Coupe de France match against Nice, according to manager Pierre Sage.
Analysis: Antonio had to exit the club's league season finale with an injury, but is set for a return Friday, as the defender has recovered for their Coupe de France final. This is positive for the defender after he has missed most of the season injured, not seeing all that much time. That said, his chances for time in the coming match appear to be slim, more likely to feature off the bench, hoping for more time moving into the next campaign.
Assists, comes off injured Sunday
Antonio delivered an assist but was replaced in the 39th minute of Sunday's 4-0 win over Lyon because of a knock.
Analysis: Antonio made his first start since returning from a significant foot issue, but he got hurt again at some point in the first half after setting up the opening goal in the 20th minute. This was his team's final game of the campaign, so the defender will aim to avoid serious damage and be ready for the start of the 2026/27 course. He made four appearances in the league season, focusing mainly on defensive work. Even when healthy, he was most often a backup for Pierre Ganiou, who took his place Sunday after the injury.
Available moving forward
Antonio (foot) has been cleared and is available for selection moving forward, according to coach Pierre Sage.
Analysis: Antonio had been sidelined since suffering a foot injury against Rennes and has been working his way back through team training over recent weeks. The defender figures to ease back into a depth role rather than immediately pushing for a starting spot, and whether he makes the matchday squad will depend on coach Pierre Sage's selection needs given the limited time remaining in the Ligue 1 season.
