Suffers minor thigh issue
Yohou has a minor thigh injury that is not expected to be serious, according to Jordan Pardon of BeFootball.
Analysis: Yohou was excluded from the squad for the season opener against Brest, although this appears to be a minor concern for the defender if the initial assessment holds. Yohou's status is still worth monitoring ahead of the club's next match, but the report does not indicate an expected absence. If he remains sidelined, his place may be covered by players like Harold Voyer, Theo Eyoum and Rayan Bamba.
Experience in back line
Yohou ends the campaign having been one of Le Mans's most reliable defensive figures, bringing the experience and leadership of a veteran center-back to a back line that conceded consistently few goals throughout the promotion season.
Analysis: Yohou's reading of the game, positional discipline and ability to organise those around him have been crucial to Le Mans's defensive solidity, and his presence in the squad will be invaluable as the club navigate their first Ligue 1 season after 16 years. Yohou scored four goals from set pieces during the campaign and will hope his experience at the top level of French football proves the difference in keeping Le Mans competitive in a demanding top-flight environment.
