Four days before the resumption of training for its female team, OL would have been happy to announce this Thursday the contract extension (until 2021) of its Dutch wing Shanice van de Sanden. But the club has just sent a medical press release to deplore the serious injury of Griedge Mbock.

The 25-year-old tricolor international, the ideal complement to Wendie Renard in central defense, was the victim of a rupture of the left Achilles tendon, "occurring during individual training". OL specifies that the player immediately followed an intervention at the Parc clinic (Lyon 6th) on Tuesday.

Its unavailability is estimated by the Lyonnais medical staff at around five months, about the same time as for the Norwegian attacker Ada Hegerberg, victim at the end of January of a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee. The latter could be back for the quarter-final of the Champions League (date not fixed by UEFA) against Bayern Munich.
