Lyon boss issues fresh Malo Gusto injury update as Chelsea star's long-term 'pain' revealed

Lyon boss Laurent Blanc has provided an update on Malo Gusto after the defender suffered a knock. The 19-year-old is on loan at the French outfit until the end of the season after signing for Chelsea in the January transfer window in a deal around £26million, plus add-ons.

Gusto was replaced by Castello Lukeba in the first half of Lyon's clash with Lille. The France youth international aggravated a hamstring injury which has been causing him some pain for a while now, according to Blanc.

Speaking to l'Equipe, the Lyon boss revealed that Gusto has suffered 'physically and mentally' with the knock. Blanc said: "It's a pain he's been feeling for some time. It's not a big problem, but it bothers him physically and mentally. We will try to treat him well... I don't think it will take too long, but it has to be done."
