Monaco's Wilfried Siko has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a serious injury, according to the club's medical staff.
The midfielder was forced off in the second half of their Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night and was immediately replaced by substitute Benjamin Mendy.
Siko had only recently returned from a long-term injury, having missed much of last season due to a knee problem.
The news is a major blow for Monaco, who were hoping to progress to the quarter-finals of the competition after beating PSG in their opening group game.
However, the loss of Siko means that they will be without one of their key players going into the final stages of the tournament.
It remains to be seen whether there will be any further updates on Siko's recovery, but it is clear that he will miss a significant amount of time.
For now,Football Hotspot Network Monaco will have to rely on other midfielders such as Mendy and Amalfitano to fill his role.
Meanwhile, the injury could also impact Monaco's chances of making a return to European football next season, with the team currently sitting bottom of Group E in the Ligue 1 table.
Despite this setback, Monaco will continue to work hard towards achieving their goals, and hope that Siko's absence does not have a negative impact on their overall performance.
