The news had been feared since Sunday evening, and the bad news fell this Monday: Alexis Claude-Maurice suffers from a fibula fracture. The midfielder will undergo surgery soon.
After remaining on the ground following a tackle by Thomasson, Alexis Claude-Maurice had “the feeling that it was something serious,” as reported by Adrian Ursea in a press conference after the defeat against Strasbourg (0-2 this Sunday). Unfortunately, examinations confirmed the initial feeling of the U21 international.
Stopped in his tracks, the native of Noisy-le-Grand (22 years old) will be sidelined for several months. ACM will notably miss the knockout phase of the 2021 U21 Euro, after having participated in the group stage alongside Amine Gouiri.
