Clearly, OL has been cursed for the past few weeks. During the draw on Celta Vigo’s pitch this Thursday evening in the first leg of the Europa League Round of 16, the Gones lost yet another player to injury.

Brought on in the 67th minute, young Rémi Himbert was forced to give up his place just three minutes after coming on due to a bad ankle twist.

In tears and helped off the pitch by two staff members, Himbert now joins OL’s already overcrowded infirmary.

The 18-year-old striker had notably brought some freshness back to Lyon’s attack with two goals in the previous three matches.

With an intense final sprint ahead, Lyon finds itself even more depleted.
