Bentaleb (illness) is training with a ball again, is in the third stage of his recovery and is attempting to be allowed to resume completion by Ligue 1, according to club president Olivier Letang, per Raphael Merchant of Le Petit Lillois. "Nabil started a program in September with a cardiologist. Then the program takes place in five phases. Everything is going very well for Nabil. He has almost completed the third phase and we are now in discussion with the commission to find out if he can be allowed to resume the sport in competition."
ANALYSIS
Bentalab is the furthest in his recovery he has been since suffering a cardiac arrest last season, as the midfielder is almost through the third of five recovery stages and has started to train with a ball again. However, he still will have to be allowed to resume play by the commission, having not been registered ahead of the season. Either way, this is still good news for the midfielder, as it does seem like a return to the sport is inevitable and could come within the next few months.
