J.Berthod will not play this year © EuroFootball.com

The left-back of the French U-21 national team and club defender Jerymy Berthod will not be able to play until the New Year due to a calf injury. The player suffered the injury during this weekend's French league match against the "Nice" team in the second half. After undergoing tests after the match, it was revealed that the player will be unable to play for at least three weeks. This is very bad news for the "Lyon" club, which is currently striving for its fifth consecutive champions title, as the main team left-back Eric Abidal is also injured at the moment. The only good news for the team is that another defender, Lamine Diatta, who also suffered an injury in the Saturday match, is recovering rapidly and will most likely be able to help his team in the next week's UEFA Champions League match against "Rosenborg".
