Kheira Hamraoui will wait again. Didier Ollé-Nicolle did not call her for the Coupe de France match in Dijon on Sunday. Victim of a violent assault in early November, during which she was hit with an iron bar, she has not played in official matches since. Present at the time of the incident, her teammate Aminata Diallo made her comeback.
The midfielder could get his first minutes of playing time for more than two months, on the occasion of this round of 16. Like Hamraoui, she had resumed collective training on December 7 and had benefited from “professional work that has been done on the part of the club and the staff to accompany them for a month, outside the group, outside any notion of a match, ”says his coach.
“Everyone starts again on an equal footing”
Friday, Ollé-Nicolle had said they were both “operational” and had publicly considered their return. “Everyone, without exception, leaves on an equal footing, he explained. Everyone works as a group again. I have always favored the group and with this idea we will start from zero. We must not forget that they have not played for two months. There is the physical aspect to manage, they suffered from small muscle injuries before the truce. They are operational today, but there is also a group which played during the period of their absence, in particular young players, like Laurina. (Do). The first group of the year will be chosen taking this balance into account. “
The two French women have not resumed the competition since the altercation, on which an investigation is still underway. Aminata Diallo had also been heard by the police during police custody on this subject, before being released without any charge against her. During the research, it was discovered on Hamraoui’s phone a chip in the name of the former international of the France team Eric Abidal, who then confessed to having had an affair with the player.
