Nice's Boga suffers 'serious muscle injury'

Nice's Ivorian international striker Jeremie Boga has suffered a "serious muscle injury" to his right thigh, coach Franck Haise said Saturday, which the club estimate could take months to heal.

Text size:

"This year he has injured himself in three or four different places in the muscle area, I can't explain," said Haise.

France-born Bogan picked up the injury ahead of last Thursday's trip to Brussels for a Europa League game against Union Saint-Gilloise which the French club lost 2-1.

According to his coach, Boga still needs additional tests to determine if surgery is required but club sources have estimated the 27-year-old forward will need at least three months to recover.

Boga is one of 10 Nice players who are absent for the team's Ligue 1 trip to struggling Montpellier.

Nice are sixth in the league table.
