Lyon’s Clinton Njié Ruled Out of Caen Clash with Thigh Injury
Cameroonian forward Clinton Njié will miss Olympique Lyonnais’ crucial Ligue 1 fixture against Caen this Saturday, as the 36th matchday of the season approaches. The 21-year-old has been ruled out due to a thigh injury, as confirmed by head coach Hubert Fournier during a press conference.
“We had some hope until Wednesday,” Fournier said. “But the MRI scan revealed a small muscular issue that will likely keep him out for the Caen match. We’ll do everything we can to have him back for the final two matches, although there’s still a lot of uncertainty.”
Njié has been a key contributor in Lyon’s title chase, scoring six goals in Ligue 1 this season and emerging as one of the club’s most promising young talents. His pace and direct attacking play have provided Lyon with an extra edge in tight contests.
With just three matches left in the campaign, Lyon can ill afford further injury setbacks as they battle for a top finish. Whether Njié will feature again this season remains unclear, and his absence could also have implications for his future, with speculation swirling about a potential move abroad in the summer transfer window.
For now, the focus remains on his recovery, as Lyon push to end their campaign on a strong note.
