RC Strasbourg Alsace face a creative crisis following the news of Dilane Bakwa’s significant knee injury, which will keep the 22-year-old winger out of action for several weeks, according to L’Équipe.
The setback occurred during Strasbourg’s 1-1 draw against Olympique Marseille at the Vélodrome, where Bakwa sustained a sprain to his right knee in a first-half challenge with OM defender Ulisses García.
Bakwa has been a vital cog in Strasbourg’s attack this season, tallying five Ligue 1 assists—behind only Ousmane Dembélé (6), Ludovic Blas, and João Neves (both 7). His absence leaves Les Alsaciens searching for solutions to maintain their offensive output.
With Bakwa sidelined, Strasbourg may be forced to revisit their transfer plans. Recent reports from Foot Mercato suggest the club has rekindled their interest in Porto’s 23-year-old winger Gonçalo Borges, a potential reinforcement to fill the void left by Bakwa’s creativity and dynamism.
For Strasbourg, finding a quick solution could prove crucial in sustaining their Ligue 1 campaign.
