AS Saint-Étienne HubAS Saint-Étienne has been hit by a new injury: Joao Ferreira fractured his right hand after being sent off against Boulogne-sur-Mer. The 24-year-old right-back received a second yellow card for an uncontrolled tackle on Nolan Binet.
What happened?
Joao Ferreira took his sending-off very badly and punched a wall in the dressing room. The result: a fractured right hand.
Why does it matter for AS Saint-Étienne?
This injury is a blow to the team, already missing Maxime Bernauer and Chico Lamba in defense. Ferreira's unavailability is estimated at two months, at least.
What comes next?
New exams will be conducted in two months to assess the evolution of the fracture's consolidation. It seems likely that Ferreira's season is already over.
