Francis Coquelin
34-Year-Old
Nantes
Ligue 1
OUT
Injury Hamstring
Est. Return 10/19/2025
Forced off injured again
Coquelin returned from injury in Saturday's 2-2 draw in the derby against Rennes and played 11 minutes before suffering a hamstring injury again, according to the club.
ANALYSIS
Coquelin has been struggling to remain fit since last season and was making his return from injury in Saturday's derby against Rennes. That said, the veteran played only 11 minutes before injuring his hamstring after attempting a long shot from outside the box that Brice Samba saved easily. The Nantes captain will likely face another spell on the sidelines to recover from this new setback, leaving Louis Leroux with a greater role in the midfield.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Still looking for new team
Coquelin is hopeful to find a new team during the January transfer window, according to L'Equipe. "I didn't have a concrete project, there was Lille but they turned to other profiles; Montpellier too. I have the motivation but if at the end of January, I'm not in a club that interests me, we'll start to ask ourselves questions."
ANALYSIS
The 33-year-old left Villarreal at the end of his contract in the summer, and he is hopeful of finding a new team before the end of January. Teams from lower leagues, such as the MLS and the Saudi Pro League, could start knocking on his door if he's unable to secure a move to one of the top leagues in Europe.
