Football News, Notes & Injuries

Lepaul suffered a very bad knock to his tibia in Saturday's 4-1 victory against Monaco and will have to be monitored in the coming days, coach Habib Beye said in a press conference, according to Ouest France. "He suffered a really hard knock. My fear was that the players all looked at me and said he'd broken his tibia... Breel came over to me and said, 'It's broken, it's broken!' I thought it was serious. His tibia was badly marked, it deserved a red card. Fortunately, he was able to continue, but we had to take him off because he was in a lot of pain. We'll look into it, because it's a knock that could be a problem for training with the hematoma in 48 hours."

Medina (ankle) suffered a setback from his injury and will miss an additional month, coach Roberto de Zerbi said in the press conference, according to Massilia Zone. "Facundo has suffered a relapse. He will be back in a month. It's difficult to replace a player with such character. In addition, he's left-footed like Aguerd. He could have helped us well tomorrow with his physical strength."

Fernandez-Pardo missed Sunday's 4-2 win over Paris FC due to a recurrent ankle injury that didn't allow him to be at full fitness for the clash, coach Bruno Genesio said in a press conference, according to Le Petit Lillois. "Matias has been dealing with an ankle injury for some time now. During the international break, he didn't train the first week to receive treatment. He resumed training at the beginning of the week, and yesterday he felt the pain again. He told the doctor he couldn't play tonight at 100%. I made the decision not to call him up, since he couldn't play unless he was at 100%. Now we'll see how it progresses between now and Thursday (Dinamo Zagreb), and between now and Sunday for the Le Havre match."

Lahdo suffered a setback from his shoulder injury and was forced off in the 61st minute of Sunday's 1-1 draw against Lorient, according to La Tribune Nantaise.

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

Lees-Melou (undisclosed) was forced off in the 74th minute of Sunday's 4-2 loss against Lille due to a knock that didn't allow him to keep on running, coach Stephane Gilli said in a press conference.

Toure was forced off in the 58th minute of Saturday's 3-0 defeat against PSG due to a minor knee issue, coach Didier Digard confirmed in a press conference, according to L'Equipe. "We don't have a precise explanation. He had a knee pain that appeared this week, and it bothered him as the match went on. There's no serious trigger or sign of anything serious. But it was bothersome enough to prevent him from continuing."

Hakimi (ankle) is recovering from his injury in Spain with a personal physio, according to ParisTeamFr.

Lopez was a late absence for Sunday's 4-2 loss against Lille as he is suffering from a knock to his tibia and a swollen ankle, coach Stephane Gilli said in a press conference.
