A report from Bild stated that Mikayil Faye completed his first full team training session at 1. FC Nürnberg 33 days after his loan move from Stade Rennes. Faye arrived at Nürnberg with insufficient fitness and a lack of match practice. He had only two starts at his previous loan club US Cremonese. There is no concrete comeback date for Faye to play for Nürnberg, and the initial goal to include him in the squad after the first international break can no longer be met. Coach Miroslav Klose said that Faye should still collect minutes this year.

According to Bild, Mikayil Faye, who is on loan at 1. FC Nürnberg from Rennes, is currently behind in training and will require many weeks to catch up.
