FC Girondins de Bordeaux central defender Marc Planus is to undergo knee surgery that could see him miss the club's first foray into this season’s UEFA Cup.
Ruled out
The 24-year-old was substituted during last Saturday’s 1-0 league defeat against AS Saint-Etienne and was immediately ruled out of the Matchday 6 trip to PSV Eindhoven next Tuesday that will conclude Bordeaux's UEFA Champions League campaign. The French side are certain to move into the UEFA Cup but Planus, who has already missed two months of the season with a foot injury, is not certain of being fit in time for the Round of 32 on 14 February.
