FC Basel will be without Gabriel Sigua for at least two months. According to the club, the midfielder has suffered two lateral ligament tears in his ankle.
In addition, an MRI examination has revealed an injury to the anterior syndesmosis. An operation is not necessary.
Sigua suffered the injury on Saturday in the Promotion League match between the U21 teams from Basel and Lucerne. The 19-year-old Georgian had collided violently with Sonny Henchoz from Lucerne, whereupon the game was abandoned.
