Returned to Paris last Saturday, after leaving her partners in the France team due to a sprained right knee with anterior cruciate ligament injury and cracked meniscus, which she suffered against Belgium (2-1 ), Marie-Antoinette Katoto is going to have surgery this Friday.
The PSG striker, where she had just extended her contract until 2025, chose a knee specialist from the Paul Senty center in Lyon for the operation: Professor Bertrand Sonnery-Cottet.
He is used to taking care of top athletes.
In the past, he notably operated on Lyonnaises Amel Majri, Ada Hegerberg, Griedge Mbock and Ellie Carpenter, but also Zlatan Ibrahimovic and rugby player Mathieu Bastareaud.
While the PSG players returned to the Bougival training center (Yvelines) on Wednesday and the Bleues are preparing, in England, to play their quarter-final on Saturday against the Netherlands, Katoto is, she, in Lyon since this Wednesday.
She will be operated on this Thursday before starting, with determination, a long convalescence.
