Matteo Guendouzi, the French midfielder who has recently joined Marseille from Arsenal, is currently out injured and will be unavailable for the remainder of the season.
According to reports, Guendouzi sustained an ankle injury during training earlier this week and has been ruled out for several weeks. The exact nature of the injury remains unclear, but it is likely that he will require surgery to repair the damage.
The news comes as a blow to Marseille, who were hoping to bolster their midfield with the signing of Guendouzi. However, they will now have to look elsewhere for reinforcements in the transfer market.
Guendouzi was one of the standout performers for France at Euro 2016, helping his country reach the final before losing to Portugal. He also had a successful stint at Arsenal, where he made over 150 appearances for the club.
Despite his impressive track record, Guendouzi's injury is a setback for Marseille and their ambitions this season. They will now need to find another player to fill his position in the team and hope that he makes a full recovery in time for next season.
