Club's legionnaire from Spain Gerard Lopez may not play for up to six months due to Achilles tendon injury suffered in Sunday's match against PSG, which ended without any goals.
The former goalkeeper of Valencia and Barcelona was carried off the field in the 65th minute after falling to the ground without any contact while running forward. According to the initial diagnosis, he could be sidelined for about six months, but further tests will determine if he needs surgery.
The 28-year-old Spaniard, who joined Monaco this summer as a free agent from Barcelona, has been plagued by injuries for the past few seasons, having recently recovered from a tendon strain. G. Lopez became the second loss for the Principality team this week, as defender Sebastien Squillaci also suffered an injury in the league cup match on Wednesday.
