During training on Monday morning, according to “Léquipe”, the early bayern player had gained injury in the thigh. The central defender is thus officially lacking in the eighth-finish first leg of the Europa League against FC Porto on Wednesday (18.45 clock). An exact prognosis when he could be operational again does not exist. Boateng had been suspended against Monaco after the game on February 5th, after renewed violence with teammates. On February 16, OL President Jean-Michel Aulas announced his return to the squad – Boateng played a game until 4 March, when he got 19 minutes at the 4-1 away win in Lorient. In the internal defense he had been replaced in all four games since its suspension in the starting formation by the 19-year-old Castello Lukeba and the trained defensive midfielder Thiago Menden.
