And for good reason, he is barely back in the group, following five and a half months away. “I am here (at Standard) at home, if I can stay here…” But the forward, lucid, adds: “I had to have knee surgery, I’m coming back, I’ll see how my knee will evolve. I’m far from all that, I haven’t been able to show myself yet.”
If he always says he has pain, sometimes, in his knee – “it can’t just disappear like that, with a simple crack” – he esteems himself “At 50-60% of my capacity. I hope to find a better level, and the rhythm, for the playoffs, it remains a reasonable objective.”
Six goals in two games: has Standard found the right formula?
