Star winger Salomon Olembé resumed full training today, following five weeks out with an ankle injury. Olembé’s missed a lot of games this season—almost half of them, in fact. It hurts to see him sit in the stands so often. If we manage to hang onto the Cameroonian over the summer, I hope next season goes more smoothly for him. I expect we’ll need his magic more then, too, since League 2 is a tougher and stronger competition than the Conference.
Tuesday’s match against Fleetwood will come too soon for Olembé, who I’m now rating a 50-50 chance for the bench. His condition is at 70%. If that gets up to 85%, I’ll put him in the match squad and try to give him 20 minutes at the end. Anything less than 85% and he’ll be a liability—no matter how desperate I am to put a specialist left winger back in the team.
