Ghana midfielder Abdul Salis Samed seems to be on his way out of RC Lens after being demoted to train with the club’s reserves.
Samed made 37 appearances in all competitions in his debut campaign in the French top flight but endured a reduced role last season after being blighted by injuries.
Although he made 27 league appearances, his total accumulated minutes were 1,513, while he didn’t also start often.
Salis Samed did not feature in Lens’ opening Ligue 1 game against Angers
Samed was completely left out of the squad when Lens faced Angers in their opening Ligue 1 game of the 2024/25 season on Sunday.
The French club has been looking to offload a number of players to balance their books and manager Will Still has confirmed that it was best for those not in the club’s plans to train with the reserves.
“For the well-being of the group and the training sessions, it was necessary to trim the group a little,” the Lens boss said.
The midfielder played alongside Arsenal’s Thomas Partey in a midfield pivot as the Black Stars took a major step towards qualifying for the tournament the USA, Canada and Mexico.
However, his club career seems to have hit a snag since Will Still took charge of Lens in June, as he doesn’t appear to be in the plans of the English manager.
