In an official press release, FC Metz announced that its Senegalese goalkeeper, Pape Mamadou Sy, will be absent for an indefinite period due to an injury, the exact nature of which has not been specified. “Pope Mamadou Sy will be sidelined for several weeks,” we can read in the statement from the Lorraine club.
A disrupted start to the season for the young goalkeeper
Recruited last summer from Génération Foot, the 22-year-old goalkeeper is struggling to find his place in Ligue 2. Since the start of the season, Sy has only played two matches in the colors of the Garnets. His last appearance dates back to last Saturday, in a draw against Pau FC (0-0), where he was started at the last minute and managed to stand out with a solid performance.
However, this injury interrupts an important opportunity for the young goalkeeper to establish himself as a key element of the Metz system. While he began to gain the trust of the staff, this unavailability risks slowing down his adaptation in the French championship.
FC Metz faces a challenge in goals
With the prolonged absence of Pape Mamadou Sy, the club will now have to turn to other solutions to maintain defensive stability. A situation which could redistribute the cards for the replacement goalkeepers, but also add additional pressure in an already demanding season for Metz.
