Coupet joins Lyon casualty list
Thursday, 4 November 2004
Olympique Lyonnais goalkeeper Grégory Coupet faces two to three months on
the sidelines after suffering a cruciate ligament injury in Wednesday's UEFA
Champions League win against Fenerbah?e SK.

Ligament damage
The French international was hurt in the 65th minute of the 4-2 home victory,
following a collision with Fenerbah?e's Tuncay Sanli, and had to be replaced
soon after by Nicolas Puydebois. The club's early estimate that the
31-year-old had sustained "bruising to his right knee and likely ligament
damage" was confirmed by a scan on Thursday.

New year return
Coupet is therefore ruled out until the new year, with his injury casting a
shadow over a successful night's work for the French champions, who claimed
their place in the next round of the Champions League with two games to
spare. His earliest possible comeback date is 12 January 2005, when the Ligue
1 programme resumes after the winter break. Club medical officer Jean-Jacques
Amprino said: "With injuries like this, you are looking at a two-month
lay-off. All being well, he should be back after the winter break."

Casualties mount
Lyon, who top Group D by two points from Manchester United FC, their next
opponents in England on 23 November, also have injuries to Brazilian defender
Claudio Ca?apa and striker Sylvain Wiltord. The former is out until January
at the earliest with a knee problem, while Wiltord's hamstring could keep him
on the treatment table for four weeks. Despite the growing casualty list,
Paul Le Guen's team continue to lead Ligue 1 where they are unbeaten after 12
matches.
