Pujol suffers collapsed lung

AFPValenciennes striker Gregory Pujol has been hospitalised after suffering a collapsed lung.

The 33-year-old was substituted after 33 minutes of the 1-1 draw against at Lyon at the weekend after suffering a heavy fall and he was eventually admitted to hospital and given treatment.

Valenciennes coach Ariel Jacobs confirmed on Tuesday that Pujol was due to be released on Wednesday or Thursday, but he will not feature against Lille on Saturday.

"He is in the hospital and should be released tomorrow or Thursday," he told the club's official website.

"The lung is slightly off. He suffered a pneumothorax (collapsed lung) and an emergency drainage because there was an effusion of blood. He is already a pass for Saturday."
