Big blow for Timothy Castagne. He will have to be absent from the field at least until mid-March. “He had a problem with his thigh and he had to have surgery,” explains his trainer, Brendan Rodgers. “He had blood that should have gone away with ice and medical care, but that blood kept coming back into his thigh. So he needed a quick operation to free him, which will keep him off the pitch for eight at nine weeks.” Also suffering from a shoulder that regularly dislocated, the Red Devil took the opportunity to solve this problem through another small intervention.
The Leicester City right-back will therefore miss at least a dozen games, including the Conference League play-off against FC Randers or the clashes against Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal in the Premier League.
In March, Roberto Martinez wanted to call only players who have less than 50 caps on the clock. With 20 caps, the Gaumais would certainly be called up for the next meeting. Gathering he should probably miss.
