“It’s nothing serious. I can’t say he’ll train with the team today, and his ankle is bruised but it’s nothing big,” Stephan said at a news conference on Monday.

He added that Lucas Hernandez also a full-back is nursing a minor muscle problem.

Another full back, Benjamin Mendy, had suffered a thigh muscle problem but “he will resume his training with the rest of the team today,” said Stephan.
