Victim of a sprained right ankle contracted Saturday evening during France-Gibraltar (14-0), Warren Zaire-Emery was announced absent until 2024 by PSG. A statement that did not convince everyone.
“ Victim of a medium-severity sprain to his right ankle, Warren Zaire-Emery will remain in treatment until the winter break. » It is in these terms that Paris Saint-Germain communicated on Monday, regarding the injury contracted by its midfielder during the match played on Saturday between France and Gibraltar (14-0), as part of the qualifiers for Euro 2024. But for some, the duration of unavailability of Warren Zaire-Emery announced by PSG would not be the right one.
Invited to give his opinion on the subject Monday evening on the channel’s set The Team, Ludovic Obraniak clearly indicated that he did not think for a moment that the French international will be absent for so long. “ Average sprain, one month? No, but are you kidding or what? In four days we played again. » Confident of seeing Zaire-Emery on the pitch again before the end of 2023, the former Lille player has even taken bets. “ He’s playing again before the end (2023), I’ll sign it to you.“
Busy December
And the consultant estimates that in reality, PSG “ gives yourself room to maneuver » in order to take the time necessary for Warren Zaire-Emery to be able to return quietly, even if it means moving forward a little on the forecasts and playing again before the end of December. By the end of 2023, Paris will have some big meetings to manage, notably the reception of Newcastle (November 28) and a trip to Dortmund (December 13), on behalf of the group stage of the Champions League.
A possible early return of Warren Zaire-Emery would therefore not be too much, especially since in Ligue 1, the program will also be particularly busy, certainly facing a majority of mid-table teams (Le Havre, Nantes, Metz), but also opponents such as Monaco or Lille. It is up to Luis Enrique to find the right formula while waiting for the return of his precious French player.
