Expected lay-off
The France Under-21 player faces "three to six weeks" on the sidelines with his third hamstring injury of the season, according to Lyon doctor Jean-Jacques Amprino. Berthod will therefore miss the UEFA Champions League first knockout round tie against PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday - with Lyon leading 1-0 from the first leg in the Netherlands - and possibly any quarter-final to be played on 28 March and 5 April. The 21-year-old has made 15 Ligue 1 appearances this season in addition to two in the UEFA Champions League.
