Tengstedt unsure to play but scores twice vs Le Havre

Toulouse came away with a 3-2 win this Saturday against Le Havre, and the standout performer was Casper Tengstedt, who scored twice. As L'Équipe reports, the forward was carrying an injury into the match: during the week he suffered an ankle setback, making his availability far from certain.

An ankle scare

The newspaper adds that Tengstedt wasn’t sure he’d be able to play. With the issue already there during the week, he could have opted to withdraw, but instead he pushed through.

Turning it into goals

The game stayed tight and Toulouse had to manage the balance until the end, but Tengstedt’s finishing provided the key edge. With his brace, he helped his team secure the win despite the pressure of a late, close scoreline.

The next step is how his ankle responds after the weekend effort. Given what L'Équipe describes, the problem was real from earlier in the week, so the club will need to see how he recovers before the following Ligue 1 fixtures.
