Bandiougou Fadiga
25-Year-Old
Lorient
Ligue 1
OUT
Injury Undisclosed
Est. Return 10/10/2026
Still in rehab
Fadiga (undisclosed) is still in rehab due to injury and not an option for the time being, according to coach Alexandre Dujeux, per Le Telegramme. "Only Ben Fadiga is undergoing rehabilitation. Otherwise, everyone is available."
ANALYSIS
Fadiga joined Lorient from Olympiacos last summer and has yet to play a single competitive minute for the club, a stretch plagued by recurring muscular issues that had previously drawn a damning assessment of his reliability from the previous coaching staff. This latest setback continues that troubling pattern, and his path back to full training will be worth monitoring as Lorient continues its start of the season.

Not fit to play in top flight
Fadiga (groin) has recovered from his injury but has been omitted from the squad due to coach Olivier Pantaloni's concerns about his reliability, according to Le Telegramme. "Ben's biggest problem is his injuries. He seems extremely injury-prone. Every time we felt he could play, every time we integrated him into the team, he suffered an injury that hampered his progress. This has been a regular occurrence since he arrived. We can see he has qualities, he showed that last year. However, in terms of reliability, muscular and athletic, it's complicated."
