French midfielder Thomas Lemar has reached his peak fitness since joining Girona, becoming a vital asset for coach Míchel during Ounahi's absence.

Thomas Lemar's performance has surged recently. The Atlético Madrid loanee played a full 90 minutes against Oviedo this February, a feat he hadn't achieved since 2022. Furthermore, at the Sánchez Pizjuán against Sevilla, he scored his first goal in 1,058 days.
The goal in Seville set a new club record. Lemar scored just 1 minute and 39 seconds into the match, breaking the previous record held by Valery Fernández since January 2024. The play involved Bryan Gil and Tsygankov before Lemar beat goalkeeper Odysseas.
The World Cup winner is showing renewed agility and intelligence on the pitch. Despite Míchel noting he still needs more match fitness, his impact at Montilivi is clear. With 14 appearances this season, he has already played more minutes than in the last two years combined.
