This is a major blow for Toulouse FC and Rafik Messali. The Algerian-French defender left the match against Troyes due to injury, and examinations revealed a severe grade 3 muscle tear.
His absence is estimated to be around two months, depriving the Ligue 1 club of one of its key defenders during a crucial period of the season.
With treatments and strict rest, the player is not expected to return to the pitch until 2027, now focusing all his energy on his rehabilitation.
