Strasbourg’s Joaquin Panichelli suffers ACL blow
172 days agoRC Strasbourg Alsace striker Joaquín Panichelli (23) has suffered a season-ending ACL injury, according to a report from Martin Arevalo.
Panichelli, the top scorer in Ligue 1 with 16 goals, was on international duty when the injury occurred. Argentina were set to face Mauritania, however, the Strasbourg forward was left out of the squad amid fears that he had sustained a serious injury.
The stiker underwent tests on the injury and those tests concluded that Panichelli had sustained an ACL injury. Strasbourg have already been informed, Fabrizio Romano understands. It means that Panichelli will miss the final sprint in Ligue 1, as well as the upcoming World Cup.
It leaves Le Racing light on striking options as they look to secure a European qualification, and to win the Coupe de France and the UEFA Europa Conference League. Emanuel Emegha, the club captain, has also yet to return. David Datro Fofana will likely lead the line in Panichelli’s absence.
