France: Lens defender ruptures ligament and misses Sporting in Champions

Maisfutebol3 September 2026 at 15:13

The Polish defender of Lens, Nawrocki, suffered a complete anterior cruciate ligament rupture during a training session. The injury occurred while the player was in full preparation for the Champions League match against Sporting.

The French club announced that the defender will be unavailable for the coming months, thus missing the knockout tie against the Portuguese side. Nawrocki is an important piece in Lens's defense, which makes his absence particularly significant for the team.

The return to the pitch is expected only for spring 2027, representing a long recovery period for the 22-year-old player. This injury comes at a crucial moment of the season, with Lens preparing for one of their biggest European challenges.
