Returns for Marseille clash
Coquelin (thigh) has made his return to the squad this week and is available for Saturday's clash against Marseille, according to coach Vahid Halilhodzic, per Ouest France.
Analysis: Coquelin had been sidelined since leaving the Brest match at halftime with a thigh injury, missing the next two games against PSG and Rennes. His return is a timely boost for Nantes heading into a crucial survival battle fixture against Marseille, giving coach Halilhodzic a more experienced option in the midfield. Louis Leroux had been covering in his absence and may now return to a more backup role with Coquelin fit again.
Suffering from thigh injury
Coquelin is not an option for Wednesday's match against PSG due to a thigh injury, according to Franck Le Dorze of L'Equipe.
Analysis: Coquelin is going to need some time to recover after he left the last match at halftime due to a thigh injury, not fit enough to play just three days later. This will leave a hole in the defense, as they will also be without Mohamed Kaba (undisclosed), leaving Louis Leroux to likely enter the starting XI again. This will be something to watch, as Nantes takes the field again Sunday against Rennes.
