Tunisian international Wahbi Khazri, who scored against Evian in the 15th day, faced a setback in the Corsican derby of the 16th day between Ajaccio and Bastia (1-1). Despite his team leading 1-0 at halftime with a goal by Florian Raspentino, the Eagles of Carthage striker, and former Ajaccio player, suffered an injury alone on the field, immediately clutching the back of his right thigh after only a quarter of an hour of play.
Khazri, who is being tracked by Saint-Etienne, had to be substituted, with Mauritanian player Adama Ba taking his place. The extent of his unavailability has not been disclosed yet, but it is suggested that the Tunisian international might be sidelined for a few days. His absence will be felt by his teammates next weekend when they face Lyon in the 17th day of the competition.
