The carnage is crazy, especially when it still ends with a D1-Champions League double.

For the fourth time this season, Olympique Lyonnais has just informed that one of its players had suffered a ruptured cruciate ligament in one knee.

After Amel Majri in October, Dzsenifer Marozsan in April, then Ellie Carpenter during the Champions League final on May 21, it is Catarina Macario's turn to complete this dark season in terms of serious injuries.

The promising 22-year-old attacking midfielder had to give up his place in the 13th minute of play last week, during the final success (4-0) of an already crowned OL against Issy.

The worst was then feared for the left knee of this decisive player during the recent Lyon double (23 goals in 35 games, all competitions combined) and the confirmation fell on Sunday.

“I will come back better and more motivated than ever”

In a message posted on her social networks, the American international, scorer in the European final against Barça (3-1), expressed her feelings after this blow: "Even if I am devastated to be away from the field and my teammates for a few months, I couldn't be prouder of my first year as a professional footballer, helping the team win back two major titles.

I will come back better and more motivated than ever”.

OL will therefore have to do without until at least November two of its indisputable holders, Ellie Carpenter and Catarina Macario, currently under contract until 2023.
