The Inter-Juwel, who joined FC Basel on loan in the summer, suffered a muscular injury in the 2-0 win against Lugano.
The Italian U21 international, who advanced to the shooting star on the knee of the Rhine with four sometimes sensational goals at the beginning of the season, is absent from FCB for an indefinite period.
Third injury this season
Esposito was out for several games in September due to a torn hamstring. Then later in October he returned from the U21 Nati camp with an ankle sprain.
He last made his short, 29-minute comeback against Lugano. Now Esposito is missing again – also on Wednesday in the Cup against Promotion League club Etoile Carouge, of whom FCB has fond memories.
On May 3, 1994, after many years in the National League B, FCB in Carouge was promoted to the NLA – and thus returned to the big stage. It was the cornerstone for the later Basel storm to the top of Switzerland and all the great successes on a national and international level. (mpe)
