This Thursday, for its big return to the European Cup, 14 years later, Toulouse FC challenged Union Saint-Galloise for the first day of the group stage of the Europa League.
Solid and daring and despite Thijs Dallinga opening the score in the first period, Téfécé could only concede the draw on the Belgian pitch (1-1).
A great evening overall for the people of Toulouse who are off to a good start to this European campaign. However, a big black spot spoiled this entry into the running.
In the last minutes of the first act, Zakaria Aboukhlal had to give way to Franck Magri because of a thigh injury. The Moroccan could not continue the match.

This Friday, on its official website, the Toulouse club announced that the Moroccan international would be away from the field for several months.
A long-term absence which could perhaps deprive the Téfécé attacking midfielder of the next African Cup of Nations with Morocco which will take place in Ivory Coast from January 13 to February 21.
This is a real blow for Toulouse. The number 7 had a convincing start to the season where he had already found the net three times in Ligue 1. Carles Novell Martinez will have to find other solutions to compensate for the absence of his technician.
