Malick Fofana, the big worry

This is very bad news for OL and the Belgian selection. This Sunday while the Lyonnais received their Strasbourg counterparts at the end of the 9e lifted from Ligue 1, Malick Fofana had to leave the pitch at Groupama Stadium on a stretcher.

At the heart of the second period, the Rhone winger was in fact mowed down in full ride by Ismaël Doukouré then author of a daring tackle from behind. If the RCSA player hit his target – the ball – in the action, the Red Devil's right foot found itself blocked… before turning.

Seriously injured in the ankle, Malick Fofana, unable to get up to leave the field under his own power, should be left with at least a major sprain. With several long weeks of absence to be expected in advance. Ismaël Doukouré was expelled after consultation with the VAR by Mr. Wattellier.
