Lovren out for the season

Lyon manager Remi Garde has confirmed that defender Dejan Lovren will miss the rest of the season with a foot injury.

The Croatian international was stretchered off after just 18 minutes of his side's Coupe de France final win over Quevilly and will now undergo a CT scan to assess the full extent of the injury. After undergoing initial tests, it is still unclear how long the 22-year-old will be missing for and Garde fears the problem could rule him out of this summer's European Championships. "His season is probably over," Garde revealed to reporters. "This is a rare injury in which the recovery time is somewhat vague at this stage."
