Hit against AS Saint-Étienne, Malick Fofana headed to the Belgian rally to have his injury noted. The OL winger must decline his selection with Belgium and will receive treatment during the break.

Bad for the player, good for theOL ? We can’t be happy about a physical problem, even more so when it comes to Malick Breathe. However, the two weeks of truce will allow the young winger to cut back a little, even if he will have to get completely back on his feet. Initially summoned with the Belgium for the international meetings in November, the Lyon winger will not be able to honor his call in the Belgian rally. After heading for the flat country in the morning, Malick Breathe had to forfeit the November truce and will not be able to play againstItaly et Israel.

Priority to care and recovery

To compensate for this absence, the Red Devils called on Samuel Thunderplayer of the Juventus Turin. This package, after having experienced his first cap last October, Malick Fofana owes it to an embarrassment felt Sunday evening during the derby won by OL againstAS Saint-Étienne. Replaced in the 86th minute of play, the Belgian was then seen with an ice pack on his calf. If Pierre Sage did not want to be alarmist, the glitch was big enough not to see Breathe hold his place in the selection. This does not mean that the injury is significant.
