Al-Khelaïfi-Verratti, the padel match that goes wrong

During a padel match, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi suffered a ruptured cruciate knee ligament.

We haven’t seen him for several weeks in the stands of the Parc des Princes, and for good reason… According to information revealed this Monday by RMC Sport, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi had knee surgery a month ago, after having suffered a rupture of the cruciate ligaments of the knee.

A serious injury occurred during a padel match organized in Doha, on October 7, against a certain Marco Verratti, who left Paris Saint-Germain this summer to join the Qatari club Al-Arabi.

Al-Khelaïfi returns to the Park this Tuesday

Ready to make his return to the Parc des Princes, the president of the capital club will be present in the bays of the Porte d’Auteuil enclosure on Tuesday evening, on the occasion of Newcastle’s reception in the Champions League. The Qatari leader will be seated alongside UEFA boss Aleksander Ceferin, who will also attend the Rouge et Bleu’s match against the Magpies.
