Out since the start of the year with a serious knee injury, Igamane is continuing his gradual reintegration into full team training, Lille said, adding that the striker is taking part in finishing drills in front of goal.
The Ligue 1 club also released a video showing the former Rangers player taking part in a shooting drill inside the penalty area alongside his teammate Ayase Ueda.
“The most difficult days are behind me. The best is yet to come,” the player wrote on his Instagram account, a few days after the club announced that he had extended his contract until 2031.
With this long-term commitment, LOSC has reaffirmed its confidence in the Moroccan international as he approaches his return from the serious injury he sustained during the Africa Cup of Nations final in Rabat on January 18.
Signed from Glasgow Rangers in the summer of 2025, Igamane gradually established himself in France’s top division, scoring five goals in 13 Ligue 1 appearances, as well as four goals in five Europa League matches.
“In what remains a very difficult situation for a player who has suffered a serious injury and faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines, it was important to us to show Hamza how much confidence we have in him,” club president Olivier Létang said.
According to head coach Davide Ancelotti, the young player, who came through the FAR Rabat academy, is expected to return to the first-team squad after the November international break.
