Player Ernest Nuamah was the victim of a break in cross ligaments in a match against Lille, forcing him to leave the field after only ten minutes of play. This serious injury to the left knee required surgery this Tuesday morning in Lyon, entrusted to Dr. Bertrand Sonnery-Cotter, recognized for his expertise in this type of medical procedures performed on athletes. Olympique Lyonnais deplores this situation, which deprives the team of an important element for the remainder of the season, and paid tribute to Nuamah in the next match against Manchester United, highlighting his jersey as a sign of support.

Following his operation, Ernest Nuamah is now beginning a long and demanding rehabilitation process, which will take place in a specialized centre in Hauteville-Lompnes, Ain. This establishment has complete facilities, including a fitness room, areas dedicated to physiotherapy and occupational therapy, swimming pools and an outdoor walking tour, designed to facilitate and optimize its recovery. The club, aware of the importance of this recovery phase, makes every effort to accompany the player in his journey towards healing.

Ernest Nuamah, 21 years old, had so far demonstrated undeniable potential in the team, contributing with six goals and two assists during the 2024-2025 season. His injury thus represents a significant setback for Olympique Lyonnais, who will have to compose without him in order to achieve his ambitious objectives in Ligue 1 and in Ligue Europa, while hoping for his return to the field in the best possible conditions.
