Called up Sunday Faes (undisclosed) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Nice.

Impact Faes is in the team sheet Sunday after he had to pass some testing, with the defender selected for a spot on the bench to face their rivals. He started in his past two appearances since joining the club, hoping to work back into the role after his exit from Leicester City.

Late call for derby Faes (ankle) is a late call for Sunday's derby against Nice, coach Sebastien Pocognoli said in the press conference, according to Vivien Seiller from Nice Matin.

Impact Faes is set to train with the group for the first time Saturday and will be evaluated afterward to determine whether he can be included in the squad for Sunday's derby against Nice. The center-back was brought in during the winter window to stabilize a backline hit hard by injuries before suffering an ankle issue of his own against Le Havre. If Faes is forced to miss additional time, Jordan Teze and Denis Zakaria are expected to line up alongside Thilo Kehrer in the back three again.

Spotted in training Faes (ankle) etait de retour a l'entrainement mercredi, according to Luke Entwistle from Get French Football News.

Impact Faes returned to training Wednesday after missing the last two matches with an ankle sprain. He is expected to be short of fitness for Thursday's cup match against Strasbourg but could be an option for Sunday's league clash against Nice. His return could allow Denis Zakaria to shift back into midfield, potentially limiting Mamadou Coulibaly's minutes.

Impact Faes was forced off after 30 minutes in Saturday's clash against Le Havre at the Stade Oceane after suffering an ankle sprain. The center-back will likely be assessed in the coming days to determine the extent of the issue, which should rule him out at least until Saturday's game against Rennes. The Belgian arrived at the club during the current transfer window to help strengthen a backline that has been thin due to numerous injuries, therefore his injury is a blow for the club, with Jordan Teze likely playing out of position until he returns.

Marseille beats Lens to join Ligue 1 title race and Monaco keeps rare clean sheet

Loan signing Ethan Nwaneri has scored a fine goal early into his club debut as Marseille beat Lens 3-1 to creep tentatively back into the Ligue 1 title race

JANUARY 24 • Associated Press

Off after 30 minutes Faes was forced off the field in the 29th minute of Saturday's match against Le Havre due to an apparent injury.

Impact Faes was only able to make it to the half-hour mark on Saturday, leaving right before due to an injury. This comes just after joining the club, only playing one game with them thus far. The hope will be that his injury is only minor, not an option for the club again until Jan. 31 against Rennes, still ineligible for UCL play.

Joins Monaco Faes has been loaned to Monaco from Leicester City, according to his new club.

Impact Faes is done with his time in England and off to France, inking a deal with Monaco on loan for the rest of the season. However, the club will hold an option to buy, potentially making him a full time member depending on other transfers this winter and how the season plays out. He has experience in the Premier League and has served as a starter for the Foxes for multiple seasons, a solid addition for depth or as a starter for Monaco.

Tallies 184 clearances Faes recorded 184 clearances, 42 tackles, 26 interceptions and 35 blocked shots across 34 appearances (30 starts) in the Premier League.

Impact Faes was a regular starter for the Foxes for a third consecutive season despite going through a stretch in which he didn't play regularly, and he ended up being the team's most reliable presence in the defensive zone. The 184 clearances were a career-high for the Belgium center-back. He should garner interest from Premier League clubs in the summer, but it's unclear if Leicester would be open to letting him leave.

Starting against Liverpool Faes (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Liverpool.

Impact Faes has returned from his undisclosed injury as expected Sunday, finding a spot in the starting XI immediately. He should continue in this role now that he is fit, starting in 26 of his 30 appearances this campaign.

Impact Faes is good to go for Sunday's clash with Liverpool after missing one match with a knock. When fit the center-back is a constant in the starting XI, going the full 90 almost every single match. Faes has missed a few matches via injury but rarely due to anything else.

APRIL 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't face Brighton Faes (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's match against Brighton.

Impact Faes is not in the call Saturday, no surprise after the defender was listed as doubtful. This does force a change, with Caleb Okoli taking his spot. He will look to return soon, with a return date still up in the air.

APRIL 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Saturday Faes is in doubt for Saturday's match against Brighton, according to manager Ruud van Nistelrooy. "We have Wout Faes who has picked up a small injury. He couldn't train today so we...

Impact Faes looks to be in major doubt for Saturday after picking up what was claimed to be a small injury. He was unable to train Thursday and will try Friday, with that likely a decider if he can play or not. He is a regular starter, so this would force a change, with Caleb Okoli as a possible replacement.

Trains individually Faes (undisclosed) has been training individually and is expected to be in the squad, coach Ruud van Nistelrooy said in the press conference.

JANUARY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss Man City game Faes (undisclosed) is unavailable for Sunday's match versus Manchester City.

Doubtful to face City Faes is doubtful for Sunday's match against Manchester City after picking up an injury against Wolves, according to manager Ruud Van Nistelrooy, per Jordan Blackwell of Leicester S...

Impact Faes missed out Thursday, with the defender suffering an injury in their previous match against Wolves. This leaves him doubtful, likely to miss a second match in a row after being handed a slim chance to play. Luckily, this won't force a change, as he hasn't earned a start since November.

DECEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in loss Faes played all 90 minutes during Friday's 3-1 loss to Nottingham Forest.

Impact Faes had a day to forget Friday, he struggled and directly led to one of the goals. It was a tough match throughout and the defender just couldn't handle Chris Wood. Faes has played every single minute throughout the Premier League and if he stays fit he should continue in a major role.

Scores goal against West Ham Faes scored a goal and made six clearances in Sunday's 2-1 victory against West Ham United in the season finale.

Impact Faes headed in a Youri Tielemans free kick to score his first Premier League goal and win Sunday's match, but it wasn't enough to prevent Leicester from relegation in what was his first season with the club. The 25-year-old center-back tallied seven clean sheets and two assists from 31 EPL appearances (all starts) in this campaign, but he'll be moving down to the Championship if he remains with the Foxes next season.

Notches assist versus Toffees Faes recorded one assist, five clearances and two tackles (one won) against Everton on Monday.

Impact Faes has yet to score a goal this season after notching four tallies in 37 games with Reaims last season. While the central defender should continue to rack up clearances, tackles, and interceptions, he is unlikely to produce in the offensive third with any level of consistency.
