Ligue 1: Simon ruled out for rest of season

Ligue 1 club Nantes have announced that their Nigerian winger Moses Simon will be sidelined for the remainder of the campaign.

Simon was stretchered off the pitch in Nigeria's 2-0 friendly defeat to Mali in Marrakech on Tuesday night.

The 28-year-old collided with the Malian goalkeeper in the first half.

The former KAA Gent player was immediately taken to the hospital for treatment.

Nantes have now confirmed Simon suffered a serious injury which will keep him out for the rest of the 2023/24 season.

"Moses Simon was injured yesterday against Mali. Our Nigerian striker suffers from a broken fibula which means the end of the season," the club said in a statement.

"FC Nantes is already keen to provide its full support to its attacker and wishes him a speedy recovery!"
