Hard blow for PSG. Wednesday, in Lorient, on the sidelines of the 10th day of Ligue 1, the Parisians were held by the Merlus (1-1). A frustrating draw that cost them two points… and a player. At the hour mark, as he was preparing to be replaced, Désiré Doué was injured on a final action, while attempting a cross at the end of the race.
Hit in the right thigh, the former Rennais immediately screamed in pain before collapsing on the pitch. Evacuated on a stretcher, he then left the Moustoir on crutches. A worrying scene for the young attacking midfielder, who had just returned from six weeks of absence. This new injury hurts, especially since the first signs are not good, while waiting for today’s exams and communication from PSG.
According to The TeamDoué would suffer from a deep tear in his right thigh and would have to be away from the field for several weeks. The group stage of the Champions League, which will end in mid-December, is already one to forget for him. The Parisian staff, already bothered in the offensive sector, will have to do without him for more than a month. He will also miss the next Blues rally.
PSG’s blacklist continues to grow
This injury also raises the question of player management: should he be fielded a third time (185 minutes in 13 days) when he was coming back from injury? Two injuries in quick succession will undoubtedly push the club to be cautious in managing its return to the field.
In just three months, eight Parisian players have already missed 35 official matches due to injury, according to the sports daily. After Marquinhos, João Neves, Fabián Ruiz, Mayulu, Barcola, Dembélé and Beraldo, it is now the turn of Désiré Doué to once again extend the blacklist.
