Peter Bosz has revealed more about Alassane Pléa's injury in the press conference after Excelsior - PSV. According to the PSV manager, the striker will be out for around six weeks.
PSV signed Pléa last summer from Borussia Mönchengladbach for three million euros. But the striker suffered a serious knee injury as early as the second league match.
That ruled him out for the rest of the season. Things went wrong again in training last Friday, when the Frenchman stayed down injured after an incident.
"He was lying there on the ground. It was a terrible sight, given the year he has had behind him," the reigning champions' manager began.
"Afterwards, you are glad it is not his knee, but another serious injury, but we were all devastated. We did not feel like carrying on training either."
"I stopped training immediately. I could see it in the lads too. They were all standing around him and it was not the moment to carry on," Bosz concluded.
For now, Bosz does not expect Pléa back at PSV until October. He can still call on Ricardo Pepi and Guus Til as centre-forwards in the meantime.
