A knee injury of the worst kind for Julien Maggiotti
139 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Stade Lavallois lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Tempers go at Stade Lavallois
Owen Kouassi was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

3 academy players handed senior numbers at Stade Lavallois
The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Trévis Dago the difference as Stade Lavallois beat AS Nancy
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Trévis Dago. 1‑0 against AS Nancy, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

In brief
