Mikayil Faye, a 22-year-old Senegalese defender newly signed by 1. FC Nuremberg on loan from Stade Rennes (with a purchase option), experienced travel delays when his connecting flight to Frankfurt was canceled. His scheduled medical examination in Nuremberg on Tuesday morning had to be postponed. Faye, who previously played for FC Barcelona and moved to Ligue 1 in 2024 for €10.3 million, finally arrived in Franconia later that afternoon. If his medical checks go well, he will travel to the team's training camp in South Tyrol on Wednesday. However, he is not expected to play in Saturday's friendly against Italian second-division side FC Palermo, as he only made two starting appearances last season on loan at Cremonese. This will be Faye's fifth club in Europe.
