Corentin Tolisso believed in the worst. Victim of a tackle from behind of Lucas Stassin, the midfielder of Olympique Lyonnais had to leave the field on the stretcher from the 28th minute against AS Saint-Étienne (1-2). Finally, he got out with a knee sprain and was able to find the land six days later.
For his part, the captain of the Gones had already prepared for the worst scenario. Always marked by his breakdown of the ligaments which occurred in 2018, while he was playing in Bayern Munich, the French expected to be unavailable for several months.
Tolisso's confidence
“It was hard at the time because I told myself that I was perhaps going to fall back into what I knew 4-5 years ago”, told the tricolor world champion to
Canal Football Club.
“To recover after the crusader, I had taken a lot of time so I was really afraid. When I had my crusader, the first time I set foot on the ground, the feeling that I felt … I really had this fear of getting up, walking and feeling the same thing. That's why I asked for the stretcher. Fortunately, we did an MRI the next day and we saw that there was nothing serious ”concluded Tolisso.
