Lilian Brassier Injury: Likely back in two weeks

Brassier is suffering from a Grade 1 ankle strain after undergoing examinations on Monday and will likely miss two weeks, making him questionable for the first game of the season against his former club Marseille, according to Le Parisien.

Brassier suffered an ankle sprain in Saturday's pre-season friendly against Real Sociedad, and further examinations on Monday revealed a Grade 1 injury, meaning he will be sidelined for at least two weeks. This will make him a late call for the first game of the Ligue 1 season against his former club Marseille. This is positive news since the first impression was that Brassier could have missed a long period of time. That said, if he has to miss the game against OM, Christopher Wooh or Abdelhamid Ait Boudal could see increased playing time in the backline.
