Strasbourg’s Dilane Bakwa Sidelined with Knee Injury

RC Strasbourg Alsace have been dealt a significant blow as key player Dilane Bakwa is expected to be out of action for several weeks due to a knee injury. The 22-year-old winger sustained the injury during Strasbourg’s recent 1-1 draw against Olympique de Marseille.

The incident occurred in the first half of Sunday’s match at the Vélodrome stadium, when Bakwa was involved in a challenge with Marseille defender Ulisses García. Medical assessments have revealed that Bakwa suffered a sprain to his right knee, which is serious enough to keep him sidelined for an extended period.

This setback is particularly concerning for Strasbourg, as Bakwa has been a crucial creative force for the team this season. With five assists already to his name in Ligue 1, he ranks among the top playmakers in the league, behind only Ousmane Dembélé, Ludovic Blas, and João Neves.

Bakwa’s absence may prompt Strasbourg to explore options in the transfer market. Recent reports suggest the club has renewed interest in Porto’s Gonçalo Borges as a potential reinforcement during this challenging period.
