Layousse Samb has earned a place in Laval’s squad for their Ligue 2 meeting with SC Bastia after concerns earlier in the week about his availability.
Coach Olivier Frapolli voiced doubts over the Senegalese defender’s condition, but the young full-back has recovered in time for Tuesday’s match at 7 p.m. on the 11th day of the season.
Samb continues to gain influence within the Laval squad. He has started the last two matches and shows steady growth since his arrival this summer.
The former Teungueth FC player made an immediate impression by scoring in his first minutes with the Tango, a moment that accelerated his integration into the side.
He trained with uncertainty on Monday, but his improvement over the following 24 hours reassured the technical staff.
His inclusion in the squad brings relief to Laval supporters who hoped to see him continue his good run of form.
The decision now rests with Frapolli, who must determine whether Samb keeps his place on the left flank for a difficult trip to Furiani.
The match against Bastia often presents challenges, and the coach will weigh his options carefully before confirming the starting lineup.
Supporters will learn at kick-off whether Samb keeps his starting role or begins the contest on the bench.
