season ended for Krépin Diatta, successfully met crusaders
The Senegalese striker of AS Monaco Krépin Diatta (22 years old), detected a lesion of the anterior ligament of the left knee on Monday, will not play again this season in the jersey of the Principality club.
Krépin Diatta underwent an operation at the beginning of the afternoon to repair his ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) of the left knee, at the Lyon Mermoz hospital in Lyon. And everything has developed well. Immediate and long-term consequence: he will be far from the pitch for the next few months, his 2021-2022 season is already over. The Senegalese international will therefore miss the African Cup of Nations.
Injured against Lille on November 19, in a shock with left side Domagoj Bradaric (2-2) after reducing the gap (his first goal in Ligue 1 this season), Krépin Diatta had consulted the surgeon Bertrand Sonnery Cottet of Paul Santy orthopedic center in Lyon. He will begin his rehabilitation within his club in Monaco.
A long list of physical glitches this season
“It seems that it will be very long and that he will be absent for long weeks, feared Niko Kovac on November 24, less than a week after the injury of his player. We are very sad for him. But he is very mentally strong and will come back stronger. Since his arrival, he has had good times but also many physical problems. We will wait for him and we will be behind him. “
Suffering from a concussion at the start of the season, which had already happened to him three years before, Diatta also missed his club for several weeks with an ankle injury. An additional tile in a very short period of time for this player who is definitely not spared by physical problems, more or less serious. This last injury is however the most important of the professional career of this young player of 22 years, under contract until 2025 with the ASM.
