Lille lost its striker Andrej Ilic for a long time, who fractured his fibula on Wednesday against Lyon, for his debut with the Mastiffs.

Losc definitely had a bad evening on Wednesday in Lyon. The Mastiffs were eliminated from the Coupe de France by OL (2-1), and they lost a player to injury, Andrej Ilic.

The Serbian striker was recruited from Valerenga on February 1, on the last day of the winter transfer window. He came on in the 77th minute at Groupama Stadium, and he had to leave the pitch just 7 minutes later, badly hit. The verdict communicated this Thursday by Losc is final: Ilic suffers “from a fracture of the left fibula (fibula). » He will be operated on on Friday.

David alone again

This is a real blow for Paulo Fonseca because Ilic had been recruited to be Jonathan David’s understudy at the end of the season. The Canadian international was until now the only real center forward in the squad, which had led the Portuguese coach to sometimes use Yusuf Yazici up front in certain matches.

With Ilic absent for many weeks, David risks playing a lot of matches in the league but also in the Europa Conference League, where Losc will soon play in the round of 16.
