Close to return
Traore (knee) is close to returning and is expected to begin training with the squad next week, according to coach Regis le Bris. "Traore is close to returning. Next week, he will start training with the squad."
Analysis: Traore's imminent return to team training is an encouraging development after an extended absence dating back to early March. The forward has had a difficult run with injuries since the start of the new year, limiting his availability considerably after starting nine matches earlier in the campaign. Given his injury history, a cautious reintegration appears the most likely approach, with a few appearances off the bench expected before he works his way back into contention for a starting role. His return nonetheless adds a welcome option to the attacking depth for the final stretch of the season.
Still out, hopeful for return soon
Traore (knee) is still out but eyeing a return around the Nottingham Forest match, according to manager Regis Le Bris. "Bertrand is still sidelined, but [he] is close to reconnecting with the squad. Probably around the Nottingham Forest game."
Analysis: Traore is nearing the end of his longer absence, dating back to the start of March, as the forward is hopeful to join the squad again near the Nottingham Forest match. This is yet to be confirmed, as this is his first update since the injury, potentially needing a bit more time to play. He has struggled for time since the start of the new year due to injury, so he hopes for his return by the end of the season, starting in nine games before the unlucky run.
