Toulouse wins again, movin’ on up!

By: Dave Trotter | Comments 2 Comments

toulouse-et-ses-hommes-fortsAlong with Auxerre, Toulouse are the hottest team in Ligue 1. And it isn’t a moment too soon, with the top teams falling like flies in recent weeks.

Toulouse, who were plagued by injuries during most of the first ten weeks, should have a nearly-full squad available as they travel to Stade VĂ©lodrome. Andre-Pierre Gignac says that he has recovered from his two injuries that he sustained this season (groin and hip). “It’s going much better, it’s on the right track. Not that long ago it was painful just to walk whereas now, I have no pain when I walk, run or shoot,” said Gignac to the official Ligue 1 website.

By: Dave Trotter | Comments 3 Comments
