Ruled out for season finale
Akpa (adductor) has been ruled out of Sunday's crucial survival clash against Lille, bringing his season to a premature end, the club posted.
Analysis: Akpa had felt pain in his adductor during Thursday's training session and underwent tests Friday, with the results confirming he is unable to feature in the most important fixture of Auxerre's season. The Ivorian ends the campaign with 30 crosses, 31 tackles, 21 interceptions and 93 clearances across 26 Ligue 1 appearances (21 starts), having been one of the club's most consistent defensive performers before the injury struck. Sinaly Diomande and Telli Siwe are expected to form the central defensive partnership against Lille as Auxerre fight for their top-flight survival.
Dealing with adductor issue
Akpa felt pain in his adductor during Thursday's training session and was unable to participate in the opposition exercise, he will undergo exams Friday and is a doubt for Sunday's crucial survival clash against Lille, according to coach Christophe Pelissier. "Clement will be undergoing tests today; we'll get an update tomorrow to see if he can play or not."
Analysis: Akpa had come on to replace the injured Bryan Ikemefuna Okoh (knee) against Nice and had been managing a long-standing psoas issue throughout the season, making this latest setback particularly ill-timed for Auxerre. The Ivorian international's potential absence further depletes an already stretched defensive lineup, with a Sinaly Diomande and Telli Siwe partnership being tested in training as coach Pelissier prepares contingency plans for the most important fixture of the club's season.
