Nine Ligue 1 clubs have resumed training on Monday. Under a blazing sun and with numbers not yet complete. For coaches, it's a real headache.
The holidays are over. They have lasted a month. But for clubs in Ligue 1, the recovery time has come. Monday, nine of them have found their way to drive two promoted (Dijon Evian), but Caen, Lorient, Nice, Rennes, Saint-Etienne, Toulouse and Valenciennes. Ajaccio, Auxerre and Nancy will follow on Tuesday. Marseille, Montpellier, Bordeaux Sochaux and will be on deck Wednesday. Paris, Lille, Lyon and Brest will close the show.
The return, in stifling heat, was at least an air of relaxation. Beach towels and flip flops in the locker room, but sunscreen essential. And for coaches, a good dose of imagination. For now, the numbers are still far short of those in their possession on August 6, to start the championship. For the transfer market is quiet. Very quiet. "We are still in the process of hiring, deplores Bernard Casoni, the coach of Evian-TG on the club website Haute-Savoie. All coaches would like to have their entire group at the back to work."
At Saint-Etienne, Christophe Galtier must tear his hair. Certainly, his first training session was devoted to physical workshops and foot races. But the coach of the Green was deprived of Dimitri Payet, about to leave, Florent Sinama-Pongolle, busy passing his medical, Blaise Matuidi, Emmanuel Rivière, Joshua Guilovagui, Carlos Bocanegra, Mustapha Bayal Sall, Guirane N'Daw, which have the right to an extended vacation, or Gonzalo Bergessio, Gelson and Vincent Plante asked to find a new club. That's a lot.

Antonetti: "Playing a lot of matches is not necessarily a bad thing"
Stade Rennais is hardly better off. Although the Breton club has already registered the arrival of Benedict and Julien Feret Costil. But it has yet to find a left side and one or two strikers. It is urgent: in a month, the band will play the Antonetti third qualifying round of the Europa League. "Preparation is important, but it happens after the management of the workforce. Play a lot of matches is not necessarily a bad thing, the technician has tempered Corsican press conference. This allows to grow at a time too. "
At Caen, Franck Dumas was able to observe the absence of Youssef El-Arabi. President Fortin confirmed: Moroccan international "will leave" the Stade Malherbe. Probably to Italy. The coach Lower Normandy has however noted the presence of Pierre-Alain Frau. The former Lille, free agent, was there as a tourist. He did not train. He simply visited the facilities of the club and passed the medical examinations prior to signature. Frau should engage in the week for three years.
Promoted to Ligue 1, Dijon has not dragged on the transfer market. The DFCO lost Sebastian Ribas, party in Genoa. But he has already recorded six reinforcements Zakaria Diallo (Charleroi), Samuel Souprayen (Rennes), Christopher Jouffreau (Chang, CFA2), Brice Jovial (Le Havre), Thomas Guerbert (Luzenac, National) and Gregory Thil (Boulogne-sur-Wed, L2). All will attack Sunday morning for the course of six days, Luxeuil-les-Bains (Haute-Saône). Toulouse will not wait that long to get into the thick of it. The players will leave on Tuesday morning Téfécé in Bagneres-de-Luchon. They will remain there until July 6. Alain Casanova takes ten players of the training center. He too is waiting for reinforcements.
