New relapse in the Parisian ranks. After Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué, it’s Nuno Mendes’ turn to turn on the flashing light again. Returning to competition after two weeks of absence and a knee injury, the Portuguese full-back, in fact, felt new pain. “Victim of a minor injury to his right thigh during the match against Tottenham, Nuno Mendes will remain in treatment for the coming days”indicated, as such, PSG this Friday.
Exited at half-time during the victory (5-3) of the European champions against the Spurs, the number 25 will therefore miss his team’s trip to the Rock, this Saturday at 5 p.m. as part of the 17th day of Ligue 1. A new hard blow for the Rouge et Bleu, leaders of the ranking, which necessarily questions the management of the squad in recent weeks. Present at a press conference, Luis Enrique was logically questioned about the case of the Portuguese international.
Luis Enrique is concerned
“He won’t be available tomorrow. It’s a concern when a player says during a match that he has a little problem. He talked about it at half-time, we wanted to stay calm and quiet. If it was a final tomorrow, he would want to play but now, he has to recover and see after a week and the Monaco match if he will be available.the Spanish technician was finally content to respond, visibly determined to shorten this press briefing.
Tired, the Parisian architect had also recognized a few moments earlier that the sequence of matches weighed on the organizations, whether for the players but also for the staff. “I wasn’t kidding when I said we had a lot of press conferences. I’m tired after matches. For players, it’s different. The training sessions between matches are mainly recovery. Playing every three days means that you are in a very high level team”. In the meantime, PSG will have to do without Nuno Mendes for the clash against Monaco and hope that the latter returns, as quickly as possible and in good shape, to the field.
