A knee injury of the worst kind for Sil Blokhuis
100 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Paris 13 Atletico lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

A loan move for Théodore Morel is in the works
Paris 13 Atletico have made the call to Stade Rennais. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.
