Another blow in the ranks of Saint-Etienne!

The Stéphanois are still only 4 points from the first relegation player in this Ligue 2. On loan from Saint Etienne to Puy du Foot, the young Maxence Rivera came out injured yesterday against Redstar.

Loaned last August to Puy foot until next July, Maxence Rivera, a player from the Stéphanois training center, once again distinguished himself last Friday by scoring for his team which is still 15th in the National Championship. If this goal came to put his team on the right track for this meeting, a fact of the game will complicate the task of the player and the club this season: the exit of the 20-year-old youngster through injury.

Absent several weeks?

Released touched just before halftime, the injury seems to be more serious than expected since the player will be sidelined for a period between 4 and 6 weeks. An additional examination should provide more details on the player’s state of health.

After giving news of his player, Roland Vieira, returned to the way to overcome this absence.

“We must be able to fill his absence. We have players knocking on the door like Arsène, Bilal or Adel.”

Without, the Stéphanois striker, the Puy team almost collapsed by conceding two goals before half-time, however thanks to Ibrahim Sangaré the team won against Redstar.
