Marseille striker Gignac sidelined by broken foot

Marseille striker Andre-Pierre Gignac will spend time on the sidelines after breaking his foot in the team's 1-0 defeat to Troyes on Sunday.

Marseille coach Elie Baup revealed that no time frame for Gignac's recovery has been confirmed, but the injury will be a blow for a team whose defeat on Sunday dropped the club into a tie with PSG at the top of Ligue 1.

The 26-year-old had gotten off to a strong start with five goals in nine league games this season after being limited to 21 games because of injury problems last term.
