Tiago Santos Injury: Training with ball Tuesday

Santos (knee) has been spotted training with the ball on Tuesday, the club posted.

Santos is nearing a return from the ACL injury he suffered at the start of last season, and the right-back was spotted training with the ball on Tuesday during Lille's pre-season camp in Iserlohn. This is good news for Lille as it suggests the Portuguese player could participate in the pre-season friendlies and get some minutes before the start of the season. When fully fit, the defender is expected to be a regular starter on the right flank under coach Bruno Genesio.
