Nice lost, this Wednesday, during the derby of the Côte d'Azur (2-1), against Monaco, but this is not the most important for the Niçois.
At the very end of the game, the Aiglons lost for a very long time their striker Jeff Reine-Adélaïde who probably ruptured the ligaments in his left knee.
Reine-Adelaide, 23, let out a howl in pain as she rolled her knee.
All his teammates arrived immediately, but understood that the ex-Lyonnais was seriously affected.
Last season, when he wore the OL jersey, he had already broken the ligaments of the same knee on December 15, 2019. Reine-Adélaïde, who had wished to leave OL in the offseason to join Rennes, had finally loaned to Nice with option to buy.
"Everyone is shocked"
But its future is now on hold.
“The locker room has collapsed, deplores President Azuréen Jean-Pierre Rivère.
It was quite impressive and it's not a pretty sight.
Everyone is shocked.
You just have to see the faces of his teammates.
I am not a doctor, but it does not smell very good and is not very reassuring.

The medical examinations carried out this Thursday will define more precisely the unavailability of the Niçois.
But breaking the ligaments in the same knee one year apart is an injury that can weigh on the rest of a career.
