FC Nantes expects fit-again Majeed Waris to face Lille

Nantes FC coach, Vahid Halilhodzic is counting on Majeed Waris to face LOSC Lille after recovering from injury.

The 26-year-old has not played for the Canaries since suffering an injury on February 24.

However, the Ghanaian forward rejoined his teammates in training this week and rearing to seal a place in the side’s squad for the Sunday’s clash against Lille.

“He's coming back little by little. He is an important player in the squad, a fast player. His absence weighed a lot,” did not hide Vahid Halilhodzic in a press conference.

Waris joined the club on a season-long loan from Portuguese giants FC Porto.

He has registered one assist and scored 4 goals in 25 league matches for the side.
