Hard blow to PSG, Luis Enrique already has the solution

Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master’s degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.

Injured since the start of the season, Nuno Mendes is not expected to play again this year. The Portuguese will undergo surgery as announced by PSG, which plans to be unavailable for four months. In the absence of the player trained at Sporting CP, Luis Enrique will have to find solutions to give Lucas Hernandez a break. And that’s good since the Spanish technician has already used the Marquinhos option.

Through a press release, the PSG announced that Nuno Mendes would not play again this year: “After new medical examinations and a new in-depth study of the situation of Nuno Mendes, the medical department of PSG took the decision to carry out a surgical intervention on Friday in Finland. His period of unavailability is estimated at four months.” A hard blow for the player but also for the Parisian club which does not have many options in this position.

Marquinhos, the option studied by Luis Enrique

Since the start of the season, it has been Lucas Hernandez Who’s playing. But although he has recovered perfectly from his cruciate ligament rupture, the Frenchman will have to take a breather. And without Nuno Mendesthe most credible option could be… Marquinhos. The captain of the PSG occupied this position during the match againstABOUT. It must be said that in the diagram of Luis Enriquethe left side position often transforms into a third axial position in order to balance with the right side in which the very offensive player bursts Ashraf Hakimi.

Kurzawa towards a strong comeback?

Another option exists namely Layvin Kurzawa. Back from loan Fulhamthe former Monegasque did not play this season, but he remained at PSG and therefore seems available to Luis Enrique who could revive it. It would be one of the surprises of the season.
