The left back of the Hungarian champion Telekom Veszprém and the French national team, William Accambray, suffered a severe injury yesterday.

William Accambray suffered a torn Achilles tendon yesterday and is out for months. Thus, the French national player is out of the European Championship in Croatia in January. In advanse, the French national coach Didier Dinart has problems on the left back position. Daniel Narcisse retired from the national team after the World Championship in January and Mathieu Grebille is out with a shoulder injury while questionable due to a knee injury.

Also too Telekom Veszprém the injury does not come conveniently, but the Hungarian team has a very wide squad with other left backs as Momir Ilic, Iman Jamali, Patrick Ligetvari and from January Petar Nenadic.

Press release from Telekom Veszprém

William Accambray suffered a torn Achilles tendon
Our French left back will miss months.

Yesterday, during the game between Grundfos Tatabánya and Telekom Veszprém, which ended with the win of the guest team, William Accambray torn his Achilles tendon after his left foot stuck to the floor while stepping. The first diagnose was later confirmed by examinations in the Csolnoky Ferenc Hospital in Veszprém.

The French left back – with the approval of the Club – flew to Montpellier this morning where he will undergo surgery. Our player will miss months. The doctors will be able to determine the accurate date of his return after the surgery, and seeing how well his rehabilitation goes.

We wish a quick recovery for Willy!
