At only 25 years old, the Messin is unfortunately one of the players with a fragile physique.
This Sunday in Marseille, in an important match for his team, he entered on time in place of striker Ibrahima Niane for a tactical change following the expulsion of central defender Jemerson.
But a little more than a quarter of an hour later, he had to give up his place after this rupture of the cruciate ligaments of the right knee.
Pure product of Metz training
His unavailability is estimated at around six months.
A big blow for the player of course but also for his club, FC Metz, which, despite its good draw at OM (0-0), occupies the place of red lantern of L1 (8 points in 13 days) .
Last September, the Lorrainers bowed in the last second against PSG (1-2).
Matthieu Udol is a pure product of Metz training.
After a loan to Seraing (D2 Belgium) in 2015-2016, partner club of FC Metz, the left side returns to Moselle and makes his debut with the pro team in 2016. In competition with Thomas Delaine on the left flank, he has played twenty-five games last season and twelve this year.
On the first day of the season against Lille (3-3), he scored the first goal of his career in Ligue 1.
