Bordeaux striker Henri Saivet will be sidelined for "several weeks" with a thigh injury, manager Willy Sagnol has revealed.
Saivet was forced off at half-time during Les Girondins' 1-1 draw at Rennes on Saturday, in only his third game back after representing Senegal at the African Nations Cup.
"@Saivet_Henri is out for several weeks," read a post, attributed to Sagnol, on the club's official Twitter feed.
W. #Sagnol en conf de presse : "@Saivet_Henri est out plusieurs semaines. Nous serons fixés sur @TiagoIlori4 cet apreè-midi". #FCGBSDR
