Overview
- Wahi injured his ankle seconds into Nice’s defeat at Lyon after contact with defender Hans Hateboer and left the stadium in a brace with crutches.
- Coach Claude Puel described an initial diagnosis of a severe sprain and said the ankle twisted badly, with final tests to determine the exact layoff.
- Transfermarkt reports the striker will be sidelined for weeks, while Wahi posted that his tears were from anger and disappointment and vowed a quick return.
- The loan move had begun positively, with three goals and an assist in 510 minutes across his first eight appearances for Nice.
- The setback forces Nice to replace a key attacking option and complicates Frankfurt’s plans for their €26 million signing, with another loanee, Jessic Ngankam, also recently injured.
