Main goalkeeper of French "Ligue 1" champions suffered a knee injury during Wednesday's UEFA Champions League match against Istanbul, which the French club won 4-2, and will not be able to help his team for at least 3 months. Coupet got injured after colliding with a forward from the Turkish team. It was later revealed that the goalkeeper had damaged knee ligaments. The player who replaced him on the field immediately conceded a goal, causing concern for other team players. "The whole team is a bit worried about Coupet's injury," said a defender from Brazil of the "Lyon" team. "At the moment, we don't know exactly what his condition is and how serious it is, but one thing is clear - we will be without our team leader for a long time and that definitely won't help us in the fight for another league title." "However, we by no means say that Nico won't be able to properly defend the team's goal. We know that he is a very qualified player and we have complete trust in him."
