OL: Three months of unavailability for Rayan Cherki
Touched on the foot and left the field at the Louis-II stadium in Monaco, supported by two members of the OL medical staff, Rayan Cherki is seriously injured. After additional medical examinations, the Rhone club confirmed a major foot injury. “Olympique Lyonnais informs of the injury to the right foot of Rayan Cherki contracted in Monaco as part of the 23rd day of Ligue 1.
The examinations taken by the international Espoir revealed a non-displaced fracture of the 5th metatarsal requiring an operation, scheduled for Wednesday, “said the team coached by Peter Bosz, in a medical statement on Monday. The young striker trained at OL “will have to observe a period of immobilization for a minimum of 3 months” according to information from the management of Les Gones.
Big blow for Peter Bosz!
As a reminder, Rayan Cherki was hit during contact with the AS Monaco defender, Ruben Aguilar. He had been replaced by Habib Keita (20 years). Lyon lost the match of the 23rd day of Ligue 1 in the Principality against a direct competitor in the race for a place on the podium and fell to 8th place in the championship, 8 points from 3rd place qualifying for the Ligue des Champions.
The injury of the 18-year-old nugget is a blow for Peter Bosz, as he loses an important attacking element a few weeks before the knockout stages of the Europa League. But also for the goal in Ligue 1. Remember that the player trained at OL scored twice in the victory (3-1) over Brondby (Denmark) in the group stage of the Europa League. He is also the author of 3 assists in the competition in 4 games played.
