🚨 Lyon confirm major blow for Malick Fofana | OneFootball

The image was not pretty and the bad news has been confirmed.

On Sunday evening, during OL's victory over Strasbourg (2-1), Malick Fofana had to leave his teammates on a stretcher after a poor tackle by Ismaël Doukouré.

This Monday, the Rhône club officially communicated about their player's injury and confirmed an absence of several months:

"The tests carried out overnight at the hospital, and confirmed today, revealed a severe sprain of the right ankle, accompanied by injuries that will most likely require surgery, which should keep him off the pitch for several months.

Olympique Lyonnais will put all necessary measures in place to ensure Malick Fofana receives the best medical care and support during his rehabilitation, in order to facilitate his return to the squad as quickly as possible."

A truly bad piece of news for OL, who will be without their best attacking player for many weeks.
