“We’ll see if this requires intervention, it seems so,” Garcia detailed. He got injured in the game, in training, it’s rare. We won’t get it unfortunately [pour Nantes] and I hope that his downtime will not be too long. “
In difficulty at OL since the start of the season, with only one goal scored in 16 games played, Moussa Dembélé could have claimed a departure during the winter transfer window. This will not be the case a priori.
On the absence side, always, that of Jean Lucas. The Brazilian midfielder was cleared by Juninho, the sporting director, to return to Brazil earlier to see his agent, among others. He should be loaned to Ligue 1 during the break.
