JUST IN: PSG Feared As Their Top Defender Nuno Mendes Set to be Absent With Portugal National Team Due To A Hamstring Injury Picked, Read The Previewed Results By The Medical Staffs
Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed that left-back Nuno Mendes will not be available for selection by the Portuguese national team due to a suspected hamstring injury. The 23-year-old full-back, who has been in fine form this season, picked up the injury during PSG’s recent league fixture, forcing him to come off early.
According to reports from the club’s medical department, Mendes will undergo a series of tests today to determine the extent of the damage. However, early indications suggest that the talented defender could be sidelined for an estimated six to eight weeks — a major setback for both PSG and Portugal.
The injury comes at a crucial time, with Portugal preparing for their upcoming international fixtures and PSG entering a decisive phase of their campaign in both Ligue 1 and the Champions League. Mendes’ absence will be deeply felt, as his pace, energy, and attacking contributions from the left flank have been vital for Luis Enrique’s side.
PSG are hopeful that Mendes’ recovery goes smoothly, with the medical team set to provide an update following today’s scans. For now, both club and country will have to make do without one of Europe’s brightest young defensive stars.
