Tigres boss Herrera not rushing Gignac and Thauvin back after Olympic exit

The manager says the French duo can take their time as they recover from their recent experience in Tokyo

Tigres boss Miguel Herrera says he will not rush Andre-Pierre Gignac and Florian Thauvin back onto the field after the duo recently returned from the Olympics.

Gignac, Thauvin and France shockingly crashed out of the tournament in the group stage, finishing behind Japan and Mexico with just three points from as many games.

But, with Tigres set to face Toluca this weekend, Herrera says the duo shouldn't expect to be involved as they recover from the tournament and go through coronavirus protocols.
