Lyon midfielder Clement Grenier will miss the opening four months of the
Ligue 1 season after suffering a thigh injury against Arsenal.
Lyon are set to be without playmaker Clement Grenier until December after he was ruled out for four months with a thigh injury.
Grenier
picked up the problem during Lyon's 6-0 drubbing at the hands of
Arsenal in the Emirates Cup last weekend, the 24-year-old collapsing
inside his own half with no-one around him.
The
latest setback represents another blow for a midfielder who endured a
2014-15 campaign blighted by groin and thigh problems, only making seven
appearances in all competitions.
Lyon revealed the extent of Grenier's injury in a statement on Wednesday.
It
read: "Injured last Saturday during the friendly match against Arsenal,
Clement Grenier has suffered a complete rupture of the rectus femoris
tendon of the left leg.
"After consultation with
president Jean-Michel Aulas and Dr. Emmanuel Orhant, Clement decided to
have surgery by Dr. Bertrand Cottet-Sonnery.
"The
operation will take place Friday at the Jean Mermoz Private Hospital in
Lyon. His unavailability is estimated at four months."
