Injured during the match against Stade de Reims, Etienne Green will not play again in 2021. The ASSE indicated the duration of his unavailability.
ASSE: Six weeks of absence for Étienne Green
Etienne Green (21) had left his teammates during the match of the 18th day of Ligue 1 lost against Stade de Reims to Auguste Delaune (2-0). Seriously injured in the elbow, he did not return to the pitch after the break and gave way to Stefan Bajic (20 years). A week after the injury of the No. 1 goalkeeper of AS Saint-Étienne, the management of the Greens have communicated on his injury and the duration of his unavailability.
According to the official statement from the Stéphanois, “Etienne Green suffers from a sprain of the internal lateral ligament of the left elbow and an undisplaced fracture of the coronoid process”. Consequently, he “Will have to observe a six-week shutdown period”.
The young goalkeeper trained at the ASSE academy is expected to return to Ligue 1 after January. Informed of the injury of the successor of Jessy Moulin (left for Troyes), Pascal Dupraz is looking for a new goalkeeper. And Sainté’s new coach is looking for an experienced doorman. The name of Steve mandanda circulates in the Forez. He has been relegated to the Marseille club sidelines since the arrival of Pau Lopez. Yoan Cardinale (ex-OGC Nice) and Yohann Pelé (former OM goalkeeper) are also associated with ASSE.
How Étienne Green became N ° 1?
Étienne Green gradually became No. 1 in ASSE thanks to a combination of circumstances. Fourth in the hierarchy of goalkeepers, he moved to third after Stéphane Ruffier was sidelined at first. He was propelled starting after the combined injuries of Stefan Bajic and Jessy Moulin in April 2021. Before his stoppage, Étienne Green played 23 matches in the Greens jersey for 35 conceded goals and 4 clean sheets achieved.
