Injuries are tough for players and teams. When it affects two players who have delivered in the Europa League this season and the opponent is Manchester United, then it becomes extra tough. For the Premier League club, of course, an opening, once the injury has occurred.
A few weeks ago, 20-year-old Malick Fofana disappeared with a knee injury, the winger who has been outstanding for Lyon in the Europa League, with 6 goals in 9 games. It is uncertain when Lyon’s top scorer in EL will be back. At the weekend, things went wrong again at the Ligue 1 club, this time it was Ernest Nuamah who had to leave the pitch with an injury in the Lille game after a few minutes. Here it turned out to be a tough cruciate ligament injury in his left knee, which means the end of the season.
