Evian striker Yannick Sagbo has been ruled out for 10 days after suffering a dislocated elbow.
The 23-year-old was carried off on a stretcher during Tuesday night’s 2-0 win over Marseille after a collision with Nicolas Nkoulou.
However, a statement on the club’s official website, www.etgfc.com, revealed he could be back in action sooner than was first thought.
The statement read: “The news is reassuring for Yannick Sagbo.
“After various examinations, it was found that he is suffering from a dislocated elbow. His absence will not exceed 10 days.”
Sagbo will now miss Evian’s Ligue 1 match against Sochaux on Saturday.
