Today’s training session in Strasbourg marked the gradual return of several key players from the Racing Club in Strasbourg. Among them, Valentin Barco, a versatile player on the left side, took back the ball on Tuesday at Racing Soprema Parc after a knee injury contracted during the training on 21 July. Initially declared a package for the previous three friendly games, he did individual exercises to get up to level. Guéla Doué, who has been present since the resumption on 7 July but is subject to specific work in the hall, also participated in the training session this morning. His return was slower due to a slight adductor operation, although he had already performed some exercises with balloon the previous week.
The team’s new captain, Emanuel Emegha, also resumed training by participating in the oppositions this morning. After starting the first friendly match in Nancy, he was declared a package for the next two against Galatasaray and Udinese. His internship in Austria focused on hotel-specific exercises and individual sessions on an adjacent field. Emegha’s participation in the oppositions is an encouraging sign for the club, which seeks to strengthen its staff before the competitions resume.
These progressive returns from Barco, Doué and Emegha are important for the Racing Club in Strasbourg as they represent key players for the team. Their presence will increase the depth of the workforce and offer more tactical options to the coach. The club will be able to tackle the next games with a more complete and competitive team. The return of these players after periods of absence, whether due to injuries or operations, is a significant boost to Racing’s sporting ambitions.
