Bryan Okoh
AUXSuffers ACL injury
Okoh has been confirmed with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament, ending not only his season but also ruling him out for a significant portion of the 2026/27 campaign, according to coach Christophe Pelissier, per Lyonne Republicaine.
Analysis: Okoh had initially been assessed with a suspected lateral collateral ligament sprain after being forced off in the 13th minute of Sunday's win over Nice, but the subsequent examination delivered the worst possible news. The center-back had been a revelation since joining in the winter transfer window, ending the season with three goals, 13 tackles, 27 interceptions and 76 clearances across 13 Ligue 1 appearances and providing the defensive stability Auxerre had been lacking. His absence is a devastating blow for a club heading into a must-win final fixture against Lille with their Ligue 1 survival on the line.
Picks up ligament injury
Okoh left Sunday's 2-1 win over Nice after sustaining a physical blow, about which manager Christophe Pelissier commented "For Bryan, it appears to be a sprain of the lateral collateral ligament. We'll see on the scans tomorrow".
Analysis: Okoh's fitness is now a major concern ahead of the season finale against Lille after he abandoned Sunday's match in the 13th minute. The center-back is a regular contributor and has even found the net three times over a string of 12 league starts, so his absence could be felt in a squad that may turn to Clement Akpa in his place. However, the full extent of the problem is still unknown.
Grabs late goal
Okoh scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 loss against Lyon.
Analysis: Okoh put some pressure on Lyon with his late goal but eventually Auxerre ran out of time in an attempt to grab a point. Okoh should have opportunities to slip past Angers' defense in the next match, as the team has conceded 43 goals across 31 domestic contests.
