Stuttgart forced to do without Boka

VfB Stuttgart will be without Arthur Boka for their encounter against Olympique Lyonnais later this month after he suffered knee ligament damage at the weekend.

VfB Stuttgart will be without left-back Arthur Boka for their UEFA Champions League encounter against Olympique Lyonnais later this month after he suffered knee ligament damage on Saturday.

Boka blow
The 24-year-old, capped 30 times by the Ivory Coast, injured the ligaments in his left knee during Stuttgart's 2-0 Bundesliga defeat against Hannover 96. Boka will be sidelined for up to a month, ruling him out of the German champions' Group E game against Lyon on 23 October and possibly the return in France two weeks later. Boka's injury is a recurrence of a problem he originally suffered during training in August that kept him out of two Bundesliga matches.
