Aissa Mandi faces a tough period ahead after picking up an injury during Reims’ Ligue 1 matchday 7 clash against Angers, which forced him off the pitch in the 68th minute. While the exact nature of the injury is still to be confirmed, early reports suggest a possible cruciate ligament rupture or a serious knee sprain.
This could potentially sideline the Algerian defender for up to two months, meaning he will likely miss Algeria’s upcoming national team matches in October—and possibly November as well. It’s a significant blow both for Reims and the Algerian squad.
