We will have to wait two months to see all of Bilal Brahimi’s polished technique on a Ligue 2 pitch. The excellent attacking midfielder from Stade Malherbe Caen fractured his left external malleolus during the friendly match between his team in Le Havre, Friday September 8, 2023. The injury occurred during a duel.

Bilal Brahimi should be absent for at least eight weeks. He will miss the major series which is looming against Saint-Etienne, Grenoble, Guingamp, Bordeaux, Rodez and Auxerre in September and October.

What adaptation on the ground?

The left-hander, whose contract was recently extended until 2027, had a high-flying start to the season with the Ligue 2 leader. He appeared as a key element in Jean-Marc Furlan’s system.

Caen will have to reinvent itself. The injury to the omnipresent Bilal Brahimi could accelerate the tenure of Mickaël Le Bihan, a step under Alexandre Mendy, within the Weed attack, with two recuperators in midfield and two players on the sides.

Several options are available to the weed staff, who could also choose to evolve with two 8s and a low point. The depth of the bench, which appeared quite weak before the recruitments of Hianga’a Mbock and Mickaël Le Bihan on the last day of the transfer window, will be scrutinized.

Largely spared at the very start of the season on a medical level, Caen suffered the blow. Yoann Court and Quentin Daubin, whose length of unavailability is not yet known, are on the floor.
