Last updated : 21 November 2002 By BoltonMAD
The full-back, who is on a season-long loan deal from Paris Saint Germain, suffered the injury during a practice match with the France under-21 side.

Manager Sam Allardyce told bwfc.co.uk: “I’m extremely disappointed and angry with the French officials.

"He was playing a game not long after featuring in a high-tempo Premiership match. This didn’t allow him enough time to recuperate and the authorities have not acted in a professional manner.

“Bernard has been playing very well recently and it will be a huge blow to our selection plans for the forthcoming games. We will be seeking some form of compensation for his absence.”
