Joseph Lopy, the attacking midfielder from Sochaux, unwittingly concluded his 2013 football campaign with a match against PSG on Saturday. Unfortunately, the Senegalese international faced a setback as he suffered a rupture of the internal lateral ligament in his left knee during the game.
Lopy’s absence due to this injury adds to the challenges faced by his club, Sochaux, which experienced a significant defeat against PSG (0-5) at the Parc des Princes. The French champions sought to redeem their image as leaders following a previous disappointing performance against Evian.
Having scored his only goal of the season on October 20 against Monaco, Lopy had played a role in securing a draw (2-2) against the principality club. However, with his unfortunate injury, manager Hervé Renard must now rely on other team members to steer the club clear of the relegation zone, with Sochaux currently occupying the 20th position with 8 points.
