Fofana, who sustained an injury a little over a month ago against Monaco, will be sidelined for the remainder of the season. He recently underwent an ankle arthroscopy procedure. Garde highlighted Fofana’s resilience throughout the season, enduring pain and undergoing multiple treatments. However, the situation became unsustainable, leading to the decision for surgery. Garde confirmed that Fofana’s season has come to an end and he will focus on recovery for the next year.
Fofana, who was often utilized in a substitute or defensive role, was gaining momentum within Garde’s setup, particularly in the midfield diamond formation. At 22 years old, the Franco-Malian midfielder enjoyed his most promising season with Lyon, making 24 starts in Ligue 1 and contributing significantly to the team’s performances in the Europa League.
