OL held at Angers as Sulc suffers muscle issue, Tolisso withdrawn as precaution | OneFootball

OL were held 0-0 at Angers on Sunday as Pavel Sulc went off with a left thigh problem after 55 minutes, with Corentin Tolisso later withdrawn as a precaution.

According to Le Progres, the Czech forward had featured heavily across two international matches, and OL have recently been hit by attacking absences, with the returns of Afonso Moreira and Sulc giving Paulo Fonseca more options.

Sulc asked to be replaced in the 55th minute after feeling fresh discomfort in his left thigh. Fonseca said they had planned to rest him on his return and that he barely trained, adding the issue would be assessed by the medical staff.

Tolisso, who had been doubtful to start due to a minor muscular problem, received treatment and began the match. He was taken off in the 64th minute, replaced by Rachid Ghezzal, after the coach sensed a small issue following a second-half strike and chose not to risk him.

The captain sounded reassuring after the match.
