Definitely, nothing will be spared them!

The Girondins de Bordeaux on the verge of saving their head in Ligue 1 despite a catastrophic season have just suffered a new huge blow.

Paul Baysse, one of the locker room executives, suffers from a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

This is the third time in his career that the defender has suffered this type of injury.

He had already been affected in this knee in January 2013 with Stade Brestois then in the right in August of the same year after having been transferred to AS Saint-Etienne in the meantime. Returning to his training club in 2018, Paul Baysse was finally back in the foreground this season after several complicated seasons. He had also extended his contract with the Navy and White a few months ago. It is a new blow to the one who will celebrate his 33 years this Tuesday: "Today, he is at the bottom of the bucket but tomorrow he will go back to the fight, he is a warrior", confides one of his relatives. The club specifies that it "will seek a surgical opinion" but in reality few doubts remain. If he wants to continue playing at the top level at his age,he will have to go through a new ligamentoplasty and will therefore be absent from the field for at least six months. 

Following the encounter with RC Lens, @PaulBaysse presents with a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee.

Surgical advice was requested.

The Club gives him all their support in the face of this injury.

Will Koscielny take the risk?

The Bordeaux defender was injured on a corner in the second half according to

L'Equipe

but he ended the match against Lens (3-0) on Sunday night without showing any sign.

Jean-Louis Gasset's players practically maintained after this victory against Sang et Or will have to do without Paul Baysse in the last match of the season against Reims, next Sunday.

The Bordeaux coach, on the other hand, hopes to be able to count on the return of Laurent Koscielny, affected for several weeks by an Achilles tendon crack.

A decision in consultation between the player and the staff will be taken this week.

The risk of relapse exists, it remains to be seen if it will be taken.

Nigerian striker Samuel Kalu could also return for this last match in Champagne.
