Lucas Staasins, despite his recovery, went to Andrézieux to support his teammates from the stands, accompanied by Yvann Macoon, freshly returned from the Gold Cup with Guadeloupe. This recovery phase is crucial to the morale of the team, and Staasins’ presence demonstrates his willingness to remain part of the group despite his absence on the ground. His support, all the more visible alongside Macoon, underlines the importance of maintaining the collective bond within the ASSE.

Yvann Macoon, visibly still affected by its elimination in Gold Cup, has settled comfortably in the stands. His return to group life is imminent, with a resumption of collective training scheduled next Monday, after an individual recovery program. Aïmen Moueffek completes this painting, also following an individualized program but should join the collective training as of Monday. This recovery phase is essential to regain the pace, cohesion and automation required.

The presence of Staasins and Macoon, players well integrated into the Stéphanois state of mind, reinforces the idea of a group that is welded and ready to start off on good bases. Their engagement on the ground symbolizes a tight collective, ready to meet the challenges ahead. This support, which goes beyond mere camaraderie, prefigures a return to strength for ASSE, confirming the integrity of team cohesion as it approaches full recovery.
