The first season of Ethan Mbappé in Lille ends prematurely. Coming into play against Angers this weekend, the young midfielder quickly had to give in his place after being injured, barely five minutes after entering. The exams have confirmed a serious injury to the hamstrings, which will require an operation.
Aged 18, Ethan Mbappé had left Paris Saint-Germain last summer, a few weeks after the departure of his brother Kylian for Real Madrid. Not extended by the Parisian club, he had chosen to join LOSC to continue his progress in Ligue 1. An ambitious decision in a competitive workforce, where he played 14 games in all competitions this season.
An operation to be provided
Unfortunately, the young Mbappé's trajectory was marked by a series of injuries. Already far from the field between September and January, then again in March, the player trained in Paris has never really been able to chain the meetings. This new injury is an additional blow in a season punctuated by relapses.
According to The teamthe player will undergo an operation next week. No return date has yet been set, but the LOSC hopes it will come back in full possession of its means for the next season. The club relies on this intervention to finally turn the page on its physical concerns.
Bruno Genesio, a new LOSC coach, will therefore have to wait before being able to count on the young hope. Competition promises to be rough in the northern midfield, but Ethan Mbappé can rely on his accumulated frustration to return with determination. A new start to build, as soon as his body allows him.
