FC Lorient centre-back Nathaniel Adjei is expected to return from a two-month injury layoff.
Adjei, 22, has not featured for the Orange lads since November 18 after sustaining an ankle injury.
Adjei sustained the injury during Ghana's 2-1 loss to Niger in the Black Stars' final AFCON 2025 qualifying game, and underwent successful minor surgery in December.
He will return to full contact training with his teammates next week after regaining his fitness.
The Brittany-based outfit signed the highly-rated youngster from Swedish club Hammarby on a contract until June 2026, with the deal reportedly worth around €7.2 million.
Lorient are sitting at the summit of the French Ligue 2 standings with 30 points from 18 games.
