Article body
Olivier Kapo, the 22-year-old AJ Auxerre forward, will not play again this season after breaking down with a recurring ankle injury at the weekend.
Bad news for title bid
The news is a blow to the French side who, with five matches left, are still in the race for Le Championnat and a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League.
Misses U-21 Championship
Kapo had been out of action for three weeks because of the ankle but made his comeback on Saturday against FC Metz only to come off at half-time. Kapo is to undergo surgery on Monday and he will not be back in training before June, thus ruling him out of the UEFA European Under-21 Championship in Switzerland in May.
