A dark evening. Sunday evening, Paris Saint-Germain lost (1-2) at the Parc des Princes against Olympique Lyonnais. A defeat which does not do the business of the reigning French champions (69 points), who see Racing Club de Lens (68 points) come back just one length. But the Ile-de-France residents have a late match to play on Wednesday against FC Nantes, who had agreed that the meeting be moved so that PSG can calmly prepare for their Champions League round of 16 against Chelsea. A match that Marquinhos’ teammates will play without Vitinha.
Starting against Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday evening, the Portuguese was replaced in the 39th minute of play by Warren Zaire-Emery. Indeed, the Lusitano pocket midfielder suffered an injury to his right ankle after his duel with Endrick, who was the decisive passer for Afonso Moreira in this action. Falling badly, Vitinha immediately made a face before being replaced a few minutes later. He limped straight to the locker room. Which is very bad news eight days before the C1 semi-final first leg against Bayern Munich.
Vitinha and PSG are set
After the setback against Lyon, Luis Enrique was not very talkative about it. “Nothing positive, when you change a player for a slightly dangerous action, you have to wait for the tests and we will see. » In the process, France Info specified that the Portuguese, who worries his club, was going to have an MRI on Monday in order to find out more about the exact nature of his injury and his potential duration of absence. The former FC Porto player was therefore examined and the verdict was reached. Paris Saint-Germain provided an update on his state of health via a medical press release.
“Victim of inflammation of the right heel following a shock received during the match against Olympique Lyonnais, Vitinha will remain in treatment for the next few days. A new evaluation will be made at the end of the week »we can read in the press release published by the reigning European champions. PSG, which has only just found Fabian Ruiz, and Vitinha are therefore set.
