Clinton Mata Injury: Suffers hamstring injury

Mata suffered a hamstring injury and was forced off in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Auxerre, according to La Nouvelle Republique.

Mata was forced off around the one-hour mark on Sunday against Auxerre after suffering a hamstring injury. This is a massive blow for Lyon because they are already dealing with numerous injuries in the backline and the center-back is an undisputed starter and leader for the Gones. If he had to miss time to recover Hans Hateboer could be a possible replacement if Ruben Kluivert (ankle) remains out as well.
