Lille’s Tiago Santos suffers serious knee injury | OneFootball

Lille OSC have suffered a major blow. The Ligue 1 club have confirmed that Tiago Santos (22) will miss several months of action after suffering an ACL injury in training.

The news comes just two days after LOSC provided a positive update on the Portuguese full-back. The marauding full-back was injured whilst on international duty. He was forced off during Portugal U21’s encounter against the Faroe Islands on Friday. He then underwent tests back in Lille on Monday. Those tests were positive. No injury was detected, which allowed Tiago Santos to make an immediate return to first-team training.

However, after getting the green light, Tiago Santos suffered a ruptured ACL on Tuesday, as confirmed by the club. He will undergo an operation in the coming days. Without confirming the exact length of the Portugal youth international’s absence, Lille nonetheless admitted that he would miss several months of action. His season may, therefore, be over.
