Scores in return

Barco (ankle) scored a goal off three shots (two on target), sent in two inaccurate crosses and drew three fouls during Wednesday's 2-1 win over Brest.

Analysis: Barco returned after missing the previous four games due to injury and looked a little bit rusty, not putting up a well-round stat line like the ones he's used to provide. However, he made an even more important contribution as he appeared unmarked inside the six-yard box to slot a pass from the left into the empty net to break the deadlock in the 9th minute. This was the first goal since October for the versatile playmaker, who enjoyed a great bounceback campaign after some frustrating spells in England and Spain.

Starting Wednesday

Barco (ankle) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Brest.

Analysis: Barco was likely to return Wednesday and has made his way into the starting XI immediately, starting in his typical spot in the defensive midfield. He should end the season in this role, recording one goal and four assists in his 26 appearances (23 starts) this season.
