Swiss and Monaco striker Breel Embolo underwent surgery this Friday in Lyon, France, for a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, medical sources confirmed.
The intervention was carried out by Dr. Bertrand Sonnery-Cottet at the Jean Mermoz Private Hospital in the French city. The player will be away for an estimated time of about eight months.
Breel Embolo, who scored 14 goals last season in all competitions, was injured in training.
Monaco accumulates bad news shortly before the start of the new season of the Ligue 1.
This same Friday, their striker Wissam Ben Yedder was accused of “rape, attempted rape and sexual assault”, for events that occurred in early July on the French Riviera.
