'The cherry on top' - Ligue 1 champion Weah reflects on injury struggles and Lille success after joining USMNT

The winger admitted that his debut season with his club took a toll on him, but he now feels he is prepared to take a big step forward

U.S. men's national team attacker Tim Weah admitted that an injury-derailed debut season with Lille took a toll on him before his title-winning return to form this season.

Weah was limited to just three appearances during his first season with Lille, with hamstring injuries keeping him off the field during what was supposed to be a breakout campaign after a move away from PSG.

However, this season, a healthy Weah was a regular for Lille en route to the club's stunning Ligue 1 title, which Weah called the "cherry on top" of his comeback story.
