wrote last week.

This Thursday, the FCN, through a press release, provided details.

“The club and the player's entourage wanted Jean-Kevin to perform a series of more in-depth medical tests in recent days.

The former Parisian will therefore follow "a strict medical protocol, adapted to his current state of health, necessary for the recovery of all his means and his physical form" and will be "available to the reserve until the end of the season ".

The player also speaks

Jean-Kevin Augustin, paid 100,000 euros per month in Nantes, also "wished to speak" on social networks.

"The medical tests that I have carried out in recent days have made it possible to find an answer to the physical problems that I have encountered since my arrival", indicates the player, who takes the opportunity to "thank the people who support me in this difficult period of a professional point of view but also a personal one ”.
