Left-back headache for Les Verts as injuries bite and loan plans rule out Annan | OneFootball

Left-back has become a problem for Les Verts, with injuries and a thin bench forcing Maxime Bernauer into emergency duty while the club assesses bringing in cover.

According to Le Progres, Ben Old has sustained a serious ankle injury and will be out until October. Joao Ferreira is following concussion protocol after a bruising duel with Clermont’s Koné last week.

Bernauer had been moved into midfield by Ian Cathro, but he has been pushed back to left-back, a role he filled under Eirik Horneland barely a year ago.

Reintegrating Ebenezer Annan, even as short-term cover, is not on the agenda. The Ghanaian defender is to be loaned for the season, probably to Dinamo Bucarest.

The position remains under close watch as the club looks to safeguard its campaign.
