It is the fourth minute in the Stade de la Tuilière. The duel somewhere in the middle of nowhere between Kaly Sène (22) and Loris Benito (32) is harmless. The Lausanne attacker shields the ball. The YB defender keeps a close eye on him. He takes a step. No contact with the opponent. Benito’s foot hits the ground. The knee rotates without rotation of the upper body. And the man from Aargau knows immediately: it’s serious!
If Benito has to leave the field, Sène wants to apologize. Benito seems to tell him: you can’t do anything about it. Then the national player repeatedly closes his eyes and mumbles something. Prayers to heaven.
Now he will be out for at least six months. When he last tore his ACL in February 2016, it took eight months for him to make a competitive comeback. He had already torn his cruciate ligament in 2012, but the posterior one, so the duration of the loss was “only” eight weeks. At the end of this week he will have surgery on his cruciate ligament. And he is eight years older. Season over. EM ready. Bitter, very bitter for the clever central defender!
But also for YB and Nati coach Murat Yakin, who had considered Benito for the last step together after a two-year break! The Berners now have three central defenders. Mohamed Ali Camara (26) is expected back in Bern these days after Guinea’s elimination in the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup against his teammate Meschack Elia in the Democratic Republic of Congo. He’s the chief of defense. Seconded will be the very talented Aurèle Amenda (20), who will probably move to Eintracht Frankfurt. In the summer and not right away. And then there is captain Fabian Lustenberger (35), who has been playing more often lately and will have to do so again from now on. His performances have been top class lately.
YB is now looking for a replacement at full speed. The residents of Bern can now be very happy that they did not find a replacement for Amenda in time. Because the search for a central defender is already well advanced. Time is running out. Our transfer period also closes in mid-February.
