Ligue 1 - Team news: Wendel out for season
Eurosport - Fri, 15 May 14:19:00 2009
Brief team news from Ligue 1 ahead of this weekend's matches, with championship-chasing Bordeaux midfielder Wendel ruled out for the rest of the season.
Wendel is suffering with the knee injury he picked up in last month's Coupe de la Ligue final.
"This kind of injury requires between six and eight weeks of treatment," a club statement read.
Second-placed Bordeaux, level on points with leaders Marseille, take on Le Mans on Saturday.
St Etienne striker Ilan is doubtful for Saturday's home game against Toulouse, coach Alain Perrin told sports daily L'Equipe.
St Etienne, in 17th place, are only two points above the relegation zone with three matches remaining.
The final sprint in the Ligue 1 title race is becoming unbearable, according to Marseille's sports director.
"The stress is becoming unbearable. On our way back from the Nice game (on Wednesday), we were worn down," Jose Anigo told L'Equipe.
Marseille host seven-times champions Lyon on Sunday.
Paris St Germain officials should be quicker to find a replacement for coach Paul Le Guen, defender Sylvain Armand said before his side entertain Auxerre on Saturday.
Le Guen will leave at the end of the season after his contract was not renewed.
"It really wears you down. What will the (next) coach do, with which players, it is important for us to know," Armand said.
PSG lie fourth in the standings, one point behind third-placed Lyon.

hej tom h, u are sure that the refs will do this?
The LFP is trying to give Bordeuax the title because he is French and Gerets is not. Just watch the remaining games. Bordeuax will have the refs on their side, opposing players will get sent off and they will be awarded penalties, Marseilles will not.
Come on OM! Win the rest of your games!!!!! Overpower your opponents and then it won't matter.
