Lucas Stassin faces injury setback after strong start at FC Séville

Lucas Stassin, the Belgian striker on loan from AS Saint-Étienne, has experienced a strong start to his tenure with FC Séville in Spain. After a difficult 2025-2026 season in Ligue 2, Stassin made an immediate impact in La Liga, contributing to a 1-0 victory against Deportivo La Coruña. However, his momentum has been interrupted by an adductor injury in his right leg, which is expected to sideline him for several weeks and cause him to miss the upcoming match against FC Barcelona.

Regarding his future, Stassin remains a highly sought-after talent despite playing in the French second division. During the Saudi Arabian transfer window, Al-Hilal expressed concrete interest in the player to bolster their squad with talent under the age of 21. While negotiations ultimately failed due to high valuation demands from AS Saint-Étienne and complexities with the player's representatives, interest may resurface during the January transfer window. Previously, Paris FC also made a bid exceeding 20 million euros, which the club rejected.
