Suffers ankle knock
Sanson was forced off late during Sunday's 0-0 draw in the derby against Monaco after suffering an ankle knock, according to France Bleu.
ANALYSIS
Sanson was unable to see out Sunday's derby against Monaco after taking a heavy ankle knock in a collision with Krepin Diatta. Given his history of serious ankle issues a few years back, the situation will be closely monitored over the next few days, with scans planned to rule out any major setback for the Aiglon. Sanson has been a regular starter since new coach Claude Puel took over, so any time missed would be a significant blow to the midfield rotation and could open the door for increased minutes for Tanguy Ndombele.

Keen on leaving Aston Villa
Sanson wants to leave Aston Villa, according to Foot Mercato.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old former France international has struggled to perform since moving to Villa Park in January 2021, and has played just one minute of football this season, so he wants to leave the club. He's not going to go anywhere, though, as he has reportedly rejected moves to Ligue 1 clubs AJ Auxerre and Strasbourg.
