Evian striker Sidney Govou could be out of action for up to six months after undergoing surgery on Monday on a ruptured Achilles tendon, medical sources confirmed.
The 32-year-old former France international will be in a cast for six weeks before beginning physiotherapy.
Govou - capped 49 times but now out of the international picture - injured himself during the first half of Saturday's 3-2 loss to Sochaux.
He suffered a similiar injury while playing for Lyon in 2009 and was out of action for four months.
