I can’t say he’ll train with the others today and his ankle is bruised but it’s nothing big,” Stephan told a news conference on Monday. He added that full back Lucas Hernandez was nursing a minor muscle problem. Another full back, Benjamin Mendy, had suffered a thigh muscle problem but “he will resume his activity today”, said Stephan.
