Injury Concern for Jacques Alaixys Romao During Marseille vs. Reims
Jacques Alaixys Romao suffered an injury on Tuesday during Marseille’s Ligue 1 match against Reims at Stade Auguste Delaune. The Togolese international was substituted at halftime for Mario Lemina, but details about the injury’s severity and expected recovery time have not yet been disclosed.
This injury comes as a tough blow for Togo, especially as the national team looks to rebound after losses in the first two rounds of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Coach Marcelo Bielsa’s side went on to secure a 5-0 win against Reims, despite Romao’s early exit.
The Hawks will be eager to secure positive results in their upcoming double-header against Uganda next October, but Romao’s fitness will be crucial for their midfield stability.
