Lausanne-sport's butler-oyedeji out with wrist injury

Nathan Butler-Oyedeji will be sidelined for three weeks after suffering a wrist injury. The FC Lausanne-Sport forward underwent successful surgery and is expected to return after the international break.

Forward faces lengthy recovery

The 23-year-old English attacker sustained the injury in February, a setback for a player who has significantly developed since joining Lausanne from Arsenal in 2025. He’s been a key player since January, contributing five goals and three assists in 43 appearances.

His impact was most recently celebrated during the UEFA Conference League playoffs against Besiktas in Istanbul, where he scored the decisive goal securing Lausanne-Sport’s progression. Now, his absence could impact the team’s push for a strong finish to the Brack Super League season.

The club announced the injury on Tuesday, stating the surgery was successful and the recovery period is estimated at three weeks. While the return is anticipated after the international break, the timing is tight, potentially allowing him to feature in the final two matches of the regular season.

This injury is a blow to a Lausanne-Sport side that boasts a significant number of new players. His versatility and goal-scoring ability will be sorely missed.

Butler-Oyedeji's development this season has been remarkable. He established himself as a pivotal figure, and his absence will test the team's depth and tactical flexibility.

The return to action will be crucial for Lausanne-Sport as they aim to solidify their position in the league and build momentum for future campaigns.
