Matias Fernandez-Pardo

Fernandez-Pardo missed Sunday's 4-2 win over Paris FC due to a recurrent ankle injury that didn't allow him to be at full fitness for the clash, coach Bruno Genesio said in a press conference, according to Le Petit Lillois. "Matias has been dealing with an ankle injury for some time now. During the international break, he didn't train the first week to receive treatment. He resumed training at the beginning of the week, and yesterday he felt the pain again. He told the doctor he couldn't play tonight at 100%. I made the decision not to call him up, since he couldn't play unless he was at 100%. Now we'll see how it progresses between now and Thursday (Dinamo Zagreb), and between now and Sunday for the Le Havre match."

Fernandez-Pardo had two shots (one on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Lyon. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 86th minute.

Fernandez-Pardo scored two goals to go with five shots (three on goal) in Saturday's 7-1 victory against Lorient. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 40th minute.
