“Yes, we are waiting for him. I hope he can give us the goal for mathematical qualification in the Champions League. He deserves it. He is a very good person. Karma will reward him. It would be fair for him to become a decisive player in the final matches, it would be really beautiful,” said Roberto De Zerbi.

These statements hint at a highly anticipated return of Faris Moumbagna and a place in the plans of the Italian coach. Last season, the Cameroonian international played 13 matches in Ligue 1, scoring 3 goals and providing 1 assist.
