In a crucial match for Olympique Lyonnais, midfielder Pavel Šulc suffered an injury that forced him to leave the field in the 28th minute, contributing to his team's 1:3 loss against Strasbourg. This defeat not only ended Lyon's winning streak but also highlighted the potential impact of Šulc's absence as they head into a critical period in their season. Lyon currently sits third in the league, five points ahead of fourth-placed Marseille, who also lost their match against Brest.

During the match, Šulc was treated for an injury to the back of his right thigh on two occasions before ultimately being unable to continue. The timing of this injury is particularly concerning given that it occurs just a month before the World Cup qualifying playoff against Ireland. His substitution was immediately followed by a goal from Strasbourg, which underscored the negative momentum shift for Lyon and left them struggling to recover.

Strasbourg's performance, especially that of Diego Moreira, who scored two goals during the match, further complicated Lyon's challenges. They now find themselves in a position where they need to reassess their strategy and perhaps their starting lineup, especially if Šulc's injury turns out to be serious. The implications for both Lyon's immediate performance and their chances in the upcoming playoff will be closely monitored by fans and analysts alike.
