Mandi re-establishes himself in the starting XI

Aïssa Mandi has re-established himself in the starting lineup and delivered a solid performance at Balaídos, according to a report by AS. The outlet said the Algerian centre-back was one of the main reasons the team returned from Vigo with at least a point, ranking behind goalkeeper Mathew Ryan in that regard.

AS reported that Mandi's place in the starting XI had come under question as Ndukwe's emergence reduced his playing time, but that he took advantage of Dela's injury to return to the side stronger.

The report did not specify the final score of the match at Balaídos.
