THE’ ASSE recorded a 6th draw against Metz, and remains last. More seriously, Claude Puel’s team lost a key player to injury.
ASSE: supporters angry with Puel
Red lantern in Ligue 1 before facing FC Metz, also poorly classified (19th), ASSE stood still. She managed to get a draw (1-1) thanks to a goal from Wahbi Khazri (1-1, 16th) on a lob of 68 meters that will go down in the annals of football. Just for the beauty of the Tunisian attack goal, supporters would have liked the Stéphanois victory in this match. These fans, especially the ultras, were also very angry as evidenced by their banner unfolded on which it was written: “Puel get out! “. They strongly expressed their dissatisfaction when AS Saint-Étienne returned to Andrézieux-Bouthéon airport late at night.
Big sprained ankle for Yvann Neyou
Besides the tension between the Magic Fans (MF91) and the Green Angels (GA92), ASSE lost Yvann Neyou to injury, as everyone saw in the match. But what is more worrying is the severity of the injury to the Greens’ recuperating midfielder. He could thus miss several matches, which would be a big blow for Claude Puel when we know the technical quality and the role of the Cameroonian within the squad of the Stéphanois coach.
“Yvann Neyou has a big sprained ankle. She was very swollen. He couldn’t continue the game, “confirmed the ASSE manager. The 24-year-old left his team-mates at the start of the game at the Saint-Symphorien stadium. He twisted his right ankle in the Saint-Etienne area during a Messins corner. The N ° 19 of the Greens had been replaced by Aïmen Moueffek in the 7th minute of play during the match, just before the goal of Farid Boulaya (1-0, 9th).
