RC Strasbourg Alsace manager Gary O’Neil has confirmed that club captain Emanuel Emegha has suffered a relapse of his thigh injury.
Dutch international Emegha has been on the sidelines since early December 2025 with a thigh injury, however, he returned to training in mid/late-January and a return – at that point – looked imminent. But then Emegha, who will join Chelsea at the end of the season, suffered a relapse of the injury, as initially reported by **L’Équipe.**
O’Neil has now confirmed the news, stating that Emegha will now be out for around two months. _“It is hard and frustrating for him. He is injured in the same place as last time,”_ said the former Bournemouth and Wolverhampton Wanderers manager.
Aaron Anselmino, meanwhile, who joined on loan from Chelsea late in the transfer window, has been suffering from a minor thigh injury but is expected to be back in training at the end of next week. Naturally, both miss Strasbourg’s game against Le Havre AC on Sunday afternoon.
