Released on a stretcher during the victory against Nice on Monday evening (2-1) on behalf of the 17th day of L1, the Rennes striker will not play again this season.
The first examinations on the right knee of the 25-year-old goleador revealed a rather serious injury.
The cruciate ligaments are affected.

The latter received several messages of support such as that of Marseille Amine Harit, also injured in the cruciate ligaments on November 13.
