Wanderson, the Brazilian striker who has been in fine form for AS Monaco this season, has suffered an injury that could keep him out for several weeks.
The 25-year-old forward was forced off during Saturday's Ligue 1 match against Nantes with what appeared to be an ankle injury. He was replaced by substitute Moussa Djenou and did not return to the pitch.
AS Monaco have confirmed that Wanderson will undergo scans on Monday to determine the extent of his injury. The club is already without key players such as Kylian Mbappe and Bernardo Silva,Serie A Stadium so any further absence from their star striker would be a major blow.
Wanderson has been one of the standout performers for AS Monaco this season, scoring 16 goals in all competitions. His goal-scoring prowess has helped the team maintain their position at the top of the table and secure their place in Europe's elite leagues.
However, the news of his injury is sure to raise concerns among fans and teammates alike. AS Monaco will now need to find a replacement for Wanderson while they wait for the results of his scans. It remains to be seen how long he will be out and whether or not he will be able to return to action before the end of the season.
