Dealing with adductor issue
Bard (groin) was forced off in the 70th minute of Saturday's 5-1 defeat against Toulouse due to an injury.
ANALYSIS
Bard suffered an adductor issue in Saturday's defeat against Toulouse and tried a few times to continue the game before being forced off in the 70th minute. The defender will be assessed in the coming days to know the extend of the issue and if he has to miss some time to recover. Bard has been an undisputed starter for the Aiglons this season, therefore his potential absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Ali El Abdi as the main option to start at left-back.
