At a press conference, Sébastien Pocognoli was cautious yet optimistic:

“He is available” and “it’s a possibility” that he could be called up. He then clarified:

“There are still three training sessions left, but he’s been training consistently with the group since the start of the international break. Given this positive progress, it’s a possibility.”

The Monaco coach wrapped up on an encouraging note:

“For the moment, we don’t have any contraindications. It’s still open for the next three days. For now, at least, things are going well.”

A gradual return that could prove decisive in the race for Europe.
