Irvin Cardona

Cardona (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Nice.

Cardona (undisclosed) should be available for Saturday's clash against Nice after training normally this week, coach Eirik Horneland said in a press conference.

Cardona was injured and subbed out in the 82nd minute of Saturday's 3-3 draw against Angers. He scored two goals to go with five shots (five on goal) and two crosses (one accurate) before exiting the match.

Cardona assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 5-1 loss versus Marseille.

Cardona has been loaned to Saint-Etienne from Augsburg until the end of the season after terminating his loan at Espanyol, his parent club announced. "Irvin actively approached us and expressed his desire to return to Saint-Etienne, where he felt very comfortable and showed strong performances. The opportunity to make this move in the winter has now arisen at short notice thanks to Espanyol's willingness. We wish Irvin every success for the rest of the season and at his old stomping ground," said Augsburg's sporting director Marinko Jurendic.
