Bad news for Deiver Machado in French territory. The left back will not play again for the remainder of the year due to a complicated injury that will force him to undergo surgery.
After the defeat against Olympique Lyonnais last week, Lens faced their duel this Friday against Troyes with several novelties. Goalkeeper and captain Jean-Louis Leca was not suspended and Machado was also out due to a surprise injury.
It is worth remembering that the former Millionaires and Nacional started the season as the undisputed starter of the team, but as time passed he lost his position to Przemysław Frankowski. In this sense, Deiver began to be a habitual change in the second halves.
In statements collected by the portal ‘Le 11 Lensois’, the team’s coach, Franck Haise, reported at a press conference that Machado is missing the remainder of 2021 due to a meniscus injury. In this sense, he will have to undergo surgery and he is expected to return early next year.
“He had a problem with a meniscus. He will be absent for several weeks because he will have to undergo surgery. Usually it takes two to three months to get back to racing. So we will not see him again with the group before 2022”, Mentioned the strategist.
Thus, the Chocano closes his first six months in Lens with a balance of 11 games played out of 12 possible (four of them as a starter), only a yellow card and an average rating of 6.7.
