Lille central defender and captain José Fonte, hit in the right eye just before half-time in the Losc-Lyon match on Sunday, was taken to hospital, his coach Christophe Galtier revealed.

Asked about the state of health of the Portuguese international, released in added time of the first period after taking the finger of Lyonnais Memphis Depay in the eye, the northerner technician replied in a serious tone and seemed worried .

Package for the match in Milan?

“He's bad, he took Depay's finger in the eye and he took it well.

At half-time in the locker room, he could no longer see with his right eye so he is in the hospital, ”explained Galtier.

"I reviewed the images and I do not think that it is voluntary, that there is a bad gesture of Memphis Depay", specified the Lille coach.

On the TV images, after the contact between the two players, we can clearly see Fonte saying in English to the Lille trainers "I can no longer see".

An absence of the Portuguese defender would be a big blow for Losc, who travels Thursday on the lawn of AC Milan in the Europa League.
