Clinton Mata Injury: Back in training Thursday

Mata (hamstring) took part in training sessions with the group ahead of the weekend's clash with Lorient.

Mata should have a chance to bounce back as part of a three-man back line after being absent for a few days with a muscular injury. His potential addition to the starting lineup gives the team a solid replacement alternative to Tanner Tessmann (groin), who played the last few games as a center-back. The Angolan international will look to add to his 54 clearances, 17 tackles, 12 interceptions and five clean sheets in 13 Ligue 1 starts this season.
