Midfielder Christophe Landrin will miss AS Saint-Etienne's UEFA Cup Group G opener at FC København on Thursday after suffering bruising to his leg during Les Verts' 1-0 Ligue 1 defeat by FC Nantes Atlantique on Saturday.

Mounting injuries
The former LOSC Lille Métropole and Paris Saint-Germain FC player was taken off during the first half at Nantes with a feared fractured fibula, although tests have shown otherwise. "Scans revealed neither a fracture nor a strain," club doctor Guy Demonteil said. "He will be able to resume running on Monday." That will be too late for the 31-year-old right-sided midfielder to feature against FCK, however, and coach Laurent Roussey will also be without France Under-21 full-back Mouhamadou Dabo through injury. Striker Ilan and midfielder Blaise Metuidi are both doubtful.
