The outlet also reports that coach Stéphane Dumont did not specify the injury in so many words, but made clear his strong concern about the worst-case scenario. Dumont specifically fears a possible anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture in Koné’s knee.
Match ends 0-2
As for the game itself, L’Équipe notes that Troyes went down 0-2 at Angers. With Koné already ruled out early in the second half, the immediate concern is sporting—plus what this could mean for the club’s short-term planning.
At this stage, the key facts are the speed of his exit and the seriousness implied by the staff’s reaction. The next step will be medical tests and whatever timeline they provide, especially given the kind of layoff an ACL injury typically brings.
