Marseille loanee to miss the remainder of the season | OneFootball

There is more bad news on the injury front for Olympique de Marseille, as they have lost a summer recruit for the entirety of the campaign.

The club’s medical team say that Valentín Carboni (19) suffered a cruciate ligament sprain on his left knee and will undergo surgery as soon as possible. Carboni will miss the remainder of the season for Roberto De Zerbi’s side.

Carboni came to Marseille on loan from reigning Serie A champions Inter Milan and had only featured in four Ligue 1 fixtures this season before suffering a serious injury.

In their 1-0 defeat versus RC Strasbourg Alsace, Carboni was replaced by Luis Henrique (22) with fewer than 20 minutes remaining, and he has not seen any game time since.

While Carboni is on a season-long loan deal, Marseille have an option to buy him at the end of that spell with a counter-option in favour of Internazionale.

Marseille’s next encounter takes place away from home on October 20 against Montpellier HSC at Stade de la Mosson.
