After two high-quality performances in 6 days, Wylan Cyprien will be unable to participate in the encounter against Metz (Saturday at 8pm). The Gym midfielder is suffering with an adductor lesion which will require a rest period of 3 weeks.

A muscular setback which, even though is regrettable, seems however to be expected, given the “phenomenon of compensation” which often occurs at the end of a long-term injury (in this case the cruciate). “After 9 months, it’s already fantastic what is happening. We need to stay calm, he will still need some time”, Lucien Favre had warned before Wylan made his return to the squad.

Allan Saint-Maximin, from his point of view, took a knock to his back in the game between Nice – Saint-Etienne. The medical staff at the club are observing the winger’s condition. It is still too soon to tell if he will be available for the Gym’s next test.
