Havre keeper Mpasi suffers severe injury, tendon of Aquiles feared

Havre didn’t just drop points this Saturday in Ligue 1 matchday three, losing at home to Brest 1-2. During the same game, their goalkeeper Lionel Mpasi suffered a serious injury that has raised strong fears, as reported by L'Équipe.

A turning moment at stoppage time

With the match deep into added time (90+1), Mpasi went up to deal with a long lob from Joris Chotard, helping his side stay in the contest. Shortly after, the keeper was the one who needed treatment: he was injured when he fell, received lengthy care pitchside, and was taken off on a stretcher.

Initial signs are worrying

While the first medical assessment isn’t final, early concerns point toward a possible Achilles tendon rupture. According to L'Équipe, Havre coach Didier Digard said after the match that “it doesn’t look good” and that Mpasi could miss a long time, pending further tests.

The knock-on effect is clear for the club: as the report suggests, the situation could force Havre to sign a new goalkeeper to cover the gap if the injury keeps him out for weeks or months. The next step is confirming the diagnosis through the complementary examinations.
