American forward Konrad de la Fuente is unlikely to play again this season with Marseille due to a knee injury. French media reports said the 20-year-old will undergo surgery and miss Marseille’s last eight French league games. He did not feature in Marseille’s 2-1 win over PAOK Thessaloniki in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Europa Conference League on Thursday. “It’s a cartilage injury,” Marseille coach Jorge Sampaoli was quoted as saying by French broadcaster RMC Sport. He added that “It will be very difficult to see him (play) again this season.”
