This Friday, the day before the reception of Lens, Ben Old was affected by the treatment. An injury which forced him to withdraw from last night’s match. Olivier Dall’Oglio was asked about the seriousness of the New Zealander’s injury and was not reassuring. The ASSE player will have to take exams at the start of the week.
ASSE dominated against Lens
This Saturday evening, ASSE hosted Lens in a sold-out Cauldron. 1500 Lensois were also present for this meeting. The visitors quickly took charge, completely controlling the first period. The Greens were stifled by the intensity put in by the Sang et Or. Gautier Larsonneur avoided opening the scoring on several occasions, but he was beaten due to his poor anticipation of Frankowski’s long shot. Lens masters his subject and is logically rewarded with this opening score.
In the second half, Saint-Étienne will try to react, in vain. After their biggest opportunity of the match and their only shot on target, ASSE conceded a second goal. Mickaël Nadé misses his pass for Pierre Ekwah and gives Labeau-Lascary the opportunity. The former Laval resident erases Larsonneur and doubles the lead. The Sang et Or logically leave with the 3 points. The Greens will have to restart in Angers next Saturday.
Concern around Ben Old
This Friday at the start of the evening, ASSE announced Ben Old’s package. The New Zealand international was injured on Friday morning at the Robert Herbin sports center. Asked about his player’s case, Olivier Dall’Oglio was not reassuring.
The former Wellington player suffered a twisted knee following contact, according to comments transcribed by Jérémy Marillier. The club fears that the ligaments will be affected, which would lead to a long absence. The Saint-Etienne club announced that Ben Old will take exams at the start of the week.
