Chelsea announce Lacroix injury and absence for several weeks

Maxence Lacroix, Chelsea defender, suffered a thigh muscle tear during his team's match against Liverpool on Wednesday in the EFL Cup.

According to several media reports, the player is expected to miss several weeks for the London club due to the injury he sustained, which represents a blow for the team in the upcoming period.

As a result, Lacroix will not be available to join the French national team during the upcoming international break in November, ruling him out of consideration for his country's squad at this stage.

There are predictions that the French defender may not return to the pitch until 2026, pending developments in his condition and treatment program over the coming weeks.
