Lyon forward Aldo Kalulu out for around two months

Lyon have revealed that youngster Aldo Kalulu is expected to be sidelined for up to two months following an injury to his left ankle.

The Ligue 1 club have already been rocked by the long-term injury to rising star Nabil Fekir, and it has now been announced that academy graduate Kalulu is suffering from a severe sprain and ligament damage.

"Olympique Lyonnais announces that Aldo Kalulu sustained an injury to his left ankle in a clash in training this morning," read a statement on the club's official website earlier in the week.

"The young France U18 international underwent several examinations that revealed he is suffering form a severe sprain to his syndesmosis and a tear to the internal ankle ligament.

"Aldo Kalulu will have a cast put on his ankle on Thursday and will be unavailable for around two months."

Lyon currently hold sixth spot in the league standings after 10 games played.
