During FC Nantes' 1-0 defeat against AS Saint-Étienne, striker Thomas Robinet injured his hamstring and risks being absent for several weeks. The player left the field in the tenth minute after feeling muscle pain, thus putting Grégory Poirier's team in difficulty, which is already having to deal with numerous unavailability.
According to the first elements sent to journalists, the injury would be a hamstring injury, confirmed by the Canaries specialist. Experts estimate that this is a typical injury of this type, which could require between fifteen and thirty days of recovery. This estimate adds to the anxiety of the coach, who must reorganize his offensive plan as the club seeks to regain form in Ligue 2.
Robinet, who was one of the pillars of the Nantes attack, will therefore be absent for the match against Clermont, scheduled for this Friday evening at 8 p.m., during the eleventh day of the competition. His non-presence could also affect other meetings in November, depending on the progress of his convalescence.
The club has not yet confirmed the exact length of his shutdown, but initial indications point to an absence of two to three weeks. FC Nantes will therefore have to rely on other attackers to fill the void left by Robinet, while the team strives to maintain its ambition of returning to the first division.
