LILLE, France (AP) — Lille winger Tim Weah is expected to be sidelined for at least a week after the United States international suffered a foot injury.
Weah missed Lille’s 1-1 draw with Nantes in the French league on Friday and is also likely to be eliminated for next Sunday’s home game against defending champions Paris Saint-Germain.
“Tim probably won’t be ready for the next game,” Lille coach Paulo Fonseca said after the Nantes game. He gave no details about the injury.
Weah also missed the season-opening game against Auxerre last weekend as he served a suspension.
The son of Liberia president and former World Player of the Year George Weah, Weah rose through the ranks at the prestigious Paris Saint-Germain youth academy. After struggling with playing time at PSG, Weah joined Lille in 2019 on a five-year deal.
Weah scored three goals and five assists in the French league last season, despite a number of injuries.
The 22-year-old attacker hopes to make it to the American team for the World Cup in Qatar, which starts in November.
