Ethan Mbappé sidelined three weeks with ankle injury
Lille forward Ethan Mbappé will miss around three weeks after hurting his ankle for France U21, ruling him out against Le Havre and Brest.
Ethan Mbappé faces about three weeks out with a right ankle injury, ruling him out of Lille's next two Ligue 1 fixtures.
The 19-year-old was hurt in Tuesday's France Under-21 match against Estonia, won 2-0, after a tackle by an opponent forced him off in just the 12th minute. L'Équipe reports the recovery period at around three weeks.
That points to absences against Le Havre on 10 October and Stade Brestois 29 the week after. Mbappé, born in Montreuil, has made six appearances for Lille this season under Davide Ancelotti, five of them starts, contributing one goal and one assist.
He would have missed the Champions League games against Arsenal and Galatasaray regardless, serving a three-match suspension after his red card against Real Betis.
