concern for Cherki, hit in the foot against Monaco
Hit in a duel with Ruben Aguilar, Rayan Cherki limped off during OL’s defeat against Monaco (2-0) on Saturday evening in Ligue 1. He left the Lyon locker room on crutches.
Concern for Rayan Cherki. Entering the game at the start of the second half, he was injured at the end of additional time on Saturday, during the defeat of OL in Monaco (2-0) on behalf of the 23rd day of Ligue 1. The young French striker (18), whom Peter Bosz had decided to leave on the bench at kick-off despite his recommended performance four days earlier against OM (2-1), was visibly hurt in a duel with Ruben Aguilar.
He is going to pass an x-ray
Supported by members of the Lyon staff, he limped off the field, replaced by Habib Keita (19). He was then seen on crutches leaving the locker room. “It’s not the ankle, I think it’s the foot. He has to do an X-ray,” said Peter Bosz at a press conference. It remains to know the exact nature of his injury and the duration of his possible unavailability. This season, Cherki has appeared 22 times in all competitions (two goals, four assists).
At Louis-II, he tried a lot of things in 45 minutes, without being very precise. Clearly dominated by the attractive Monegasques, the Gones missed a great opportunity to get closer to the podium. While waiting for the end of this 23rd day, they occupy eighth place in the standings with 34 points. Next meeting on Saturday against Christophe Galtier’s OGC Nice.
