Lyon defender Jean-Alain Boumsong looks set to miss next week's Champions League game against Fiorentina after colliding with a team-mate in training.

The 29-year-old centre-back picked up a groin injury after a clash with fellow defender Anthony Reveillere and had to be helped back to the dressing room by medical staff.

A Lyon club statement said: "Jean-Alain feels a pain in the groin and will be rested for 48 hours. An update will be done with him on Friday."

The French side host Fiorentina in their European opener on Wednesday, with a league game against Lorient at the weekend.

But the former Rangers and Juventus defender, who had only just shaken off a groin injury, is now set to miss both games.
