F

rench "Ligue 1" championship club striker Jean-Claude Darcheville will soon be on the operating table.

The striker suffered a knee injury in a match earlier this winter and returned to the lineup just last month. However, after playing only two matches, the injury resurfaced and the club decided not to take any risks. In the near future, the player's fate will be determined by surgeons.

This means that Darcheville will have to miss the start of the upcoming season, and considering that other "Bordeaux" strikers will also be unavailable (David is returning to Brazil, while Marouane Chamakh will represent his country in the Olympics - author's note), the club will have serious problems in the attacking line at the start of the season.
