Nianzou suffers a rupture in the anterior rectum and will not play for Sevilla until after the World Cup

MADRID, 20 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –

Sevilla will not be able to count on French defender Tanguy Nianzou until after the World Cup in Qatar after medical tests detected a fibrillar rupture in the anterior rectus of his right quadriceps, the Sevilla team reported on Thursday.

The center-back had to retire last Tuesday in the second half of the match against Valencia and aggravates somewhat the problems in defense of Jorge Sampaoli, who also has Karim Rekic injured in that area and the doubt about the physical condition of the Brazilian Marcao ahead of the visit this Saturday to the Santiago Bernabéu.
