BSC Young Boys will be without midfielder Thierry Doubaï for several months after the 19-year-old Ivorian tore cruciate ligaments in his left knee during Sunday's 2-1 Super League win at FC Sion.

Having moved to Berne in summer 2007, Doubaï has played 23 league matches for Young Boys, scoring his first league goal in the 4-0 win against FC Aarau ten days ago. Young Boys are level on points with FC Basel 1893 at the top of the Swiss table but have a superior goal difference with three games to go.
