Still not cleared for matches
Gradit remains sidelined and won't be part of Saturday's season opener against Auxerre, according to coach Dino Toppmoller, per Madeinlensois. "Gradit is continuing his process, he's doing well. We trust him a lot, he has a lot of experience, but he needs to be 100 percent ready."
Analysis: Gradit has been out since late November with a tibia fibula fracture that required surgery, and despite training multiple times in the buildup to the Trophee des Champions, the club continued to hold him back from that match as well. His steady progress in training points to an eventual return to the backline, though manager Dino Toppmoller's comments suggest Lens still won't rush that timeline even as the competitive season begins.
Set to return for preseason
Gradit (leg) has completed his rehabilitation from the tibia and fibula fracture he suffered in 2025/26 and is expected to be present when Lens resume training on July 9, according to Homme du Match.
Analysis: Gradit underwent surgery in November to stabilize the tibia with screws and is now ready to begin a gradual reintegration process, with the staff planning a progressive return over the first two weeks before he fully rejoins team training under new coach Dino Toppmoller. His comeback is excellent news for Lens, who will recover one of their defensive leaders ahead of the new season and their Champions League campaign.
