JUST IN: PSG Star Players on Int’l Duties Both Portugal National Team & French National Team Set to be Sidelined For Picking Hamstring & Thigh Respectively For
Paris Saint-Germain’s international break has taken an unfortunate turn as two of their stars have withdrawn from national team duties due to injury concerns. According to reports from RMC Sport, PSG forward Bradley Barcola has been forced to leave the France national team camp after feeling discomfort related to a chronic injury in his right thigh, which has troubled him since September. The Frenchman had been hoping to regain full fitness during the break, but medical evaluations revealed that the issue persists, prompting his early return to Paris for further assessment and treatment.
Meanwhile, PSG’s Portuguese midfielder João Neves, who was called up by Portugal’s national team, has also withdrawn after developing physical problems during training. The extent of his condition has not yet been officially disclosed, but Portugal’s medical team reportedly advised immediate rest and recovery to prevent aggravation.
These setbacks come as a major concern for PSG, who are already dealing with several injury absences, including Nuno Mendes. With both Barcola and Neves now returning prematurely, the club’s medical staff faces a crucial task in managing their rehabilitation ahead of upcoming Ligue 1 and Champions League fixtures. The international break has once again proven costly for the Parisian giants.
