Injury blow for Gourcuff

21 August 2012-PA Sport

Lyon midfielder Yoann Gourcuff is facing up to three months on the sidelines with a knee injury, the Ligue 1 club has announced.

The 26-year-old France international had to be substituted after 12 minutes of Saturday's 4-1 victory over Troyes, with a statement confirming the extent of the problem.

"Yoann Gourcuff underwent an MRI on Monday morning which revealed a sprained right knee with an injury to his medial collateral ligament," it read.

"He is expected to spend between six weeks and three months out, depending on how the injury responds."

Gourcuff scored the only goal in Lyon's 1-0 win over Rennes on the opening weekend of the season.
