Lyon’s Malick Fofana to be out of action for at least two weeks | OneFootball

Malick Fofana (20) is set to be sidelined for at least two weeks, according to L’Équipe.

Due to undergo a “minor surgical procedure” as part of his rehabilitation following a serious right ankle injury sustained in late October, the Olympique Lyonnais forward is expected to miss the matches against SCO Angers next weekend and FC Lorient on 12th April.

His availability for the Ligue 1 clash against Paris Saint-Germain on 19th April remains uncertain for the time being. As does his participation in the 2026 World Cup.

This is yet another setback for OL, who are still in the running for a Champions League spot and are hoping to be able to count on Fofana again before the end of the season, having seen him play a few minutes in recent weeks against Celta Vigo and Monaco.

Used on 12 occasions (11 starts) by Paulo Fonseca before his injury, Fofana has scored two goals and provided one assist in all competitions.
