After the 8-0 conceded to Nice at the end of September, Saint-Etienne once again saw its defense shattered last weekend, on the Rennes pitch (5-0). If the red lantern Montpellier does even less well with its 34 goals conceded, the 30 goals conceded by the promoted to Ligue 1 in 13 days are striking.
And with OM having to play twice in the Chaudron (including once in the Coupe de France) and a perilous trip to Toulouse, the lights are frankly not green for the Stéphanois. To top it off, Olivier Dall'Oglio will have to do without the services of Yvann Maçon until the end of January 2025.
ASSE deprived of Yvann Maçon until February?
According to L'Équipe, Yvann Maçon, who had meniscus (knee) surgery at the beginning of September, relapsed. The 26-year-old Guadeloupean right-back played again at the beginning of November, against Strasbourg then in the derby on OL's pitch. But the pain was too strong, forcing him to watch the last two days from the stands.
This time, no intervention, but a washing of the knee to remove residual debris causing swelling in the joint. If all goes well, Maçon should return to training within a month and apply for a place in the group at the end of January 2025. At the end of his contract at the end of this season, the former Dunkerque and Paris player FC hopes to quickly return and compete with Dennis Appiah as soon as possible. That's all the bad we can wish him.
