The massacre continues at LOSC, where four new injuries were recorded around the duel played against Olympique Lyonnais this Friday. Bruno Genesio took stock on a case-by-case basis.
This is a great first this season, a rare occurrence in recent years, LOSC did not reveal the composition of its group in the run-up to the reception of Olympique Lyonnais this Friday. Thus, it was an hour before kick-off that the midfielder's injury André Gomes was revealed and noted by the entire local press:
“There was no desire to hide his injurybegins first Bruno Genesio, who was going to embark on an unusual medical break at the end of a game. He hurt his ischio in training yesterday (Thursday). We were still waiting until the last moment this morning to find out if there was a small chance that he could recover and be with us, but that wasn't the case. Obviously, it's still a hard blow because, especially in these kinds of matches, his technical quality under pressure could have been of service to us.”regretted the Lille technician at a press conference.
The massacre was nevertheless not over and, during the game with twenty minutes to go, Osame Sahraoui et
Angel Gomes came out, hampered by small glitches: “Angel (Gomes) felt pain in his calves. He had already felt this kind of thing ten days ago, in Monaco. For Osame (Sahrawi), it was two blows: one to the knee and one to the ankle. It was the blow he received to the ankle that caused him pain. This is what I can tell you. I don't have any information on them yet for Tuesday, but I'm pretty hopeful they'll be there. In any case, I hope, because otherwise I'll have to get back into shape and it won't be easy.”he still managed to joke with a smile.
“That’s a lot, we’ll have to invent things”
This disappeared when it was necessary to mention the fourth and final case: Thomas Meunier. The Belgian, who started a series of starts following the serious injury of Tiago Santos, was injured alone in a race five minutes from the end of regulation time: “ For Thomas (Meunier), he felt pain in the adductor. We will wait to see the results of the exams to find out more, but I believe that we can already note the fact that it will be very complicated for Tuesday (the reception of Juventus Turin in the Champions League, editor's note ) »regretted Bruno Genesio in the post-match press conference.
“That’s a lothe admitted at the microphone of the teams of DAZN. You will have to keep your back rounded. We have shown that we have resources in the recent past. We will still have to invent things,” he concluded following the draw conceded by LOSC this Friday (1-1) during the reception of Olympique Lyonnais.
