Boschilia's Monaco season likely to be over after ACL rupture

Gabriel Boschilia is set to miss the remainder of the Ligue 1 season after sustaining a serious injury to his right knee in Monaco's victory over Metz on Saturday.

Boschilia twisted awkwardly under a challenge from Jonathan Rivierez in the 66th minute of the 5-0 win at Stade Louis II and was carried off on a stretcher.

No official timescale for Boschilia's return has been provided, but it is highly unlikely he will return before the end of the season.

The news will be a blow for the Ligue 1 leaders, who are still competing for silverware on four fronts.
