Alexandre Lacazette has ‘almost completely regained his voice’ following surgery on his vocal cords

Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette is said to have almost regained his normal speaking voice after successful surgery on his vocal cords.

A post-match interview with the former Arsenal star following Lyon’s defeat to Monaco earlier this month went viral earlier this month due to his unusual voice.

According to a report by a French publication L’Equipethe 31-year-old suffered from a polyp, a growth of tissue on his vocal cords.

Thanks to corrective surgery last Wednesday, the France international is now on the road to recovery.

While the issue would have caused Lacazette considerable inconvenience, the striker had chosen to postpone any medical intervention until the international break to avoid missing out on any of the Ligue 1 campaign.

Lacazette is expected to be available for Lyon’s next league game, when they face Lens on Sunday.

Lacazette returned to Lyon this summer after five seasons in the Premier League with Arsenal

Lacazette returned to the French side this summer after a successful five-year stint at Arsenal, including winning the FA Cup in 2020.

Lyon got off to a mixed start to the current season, but have moved up to third place after collecting 13 points from their first six games.

Peter Bosz’s side hope international matches have provided some much-needed rest for his players after the club suffered three consecutive defeats en route to half-time.
