This is a strong image from the start of PSG’s match, Sunday in Le Havre (2-0): hit in a seemingly innocuous aerial duel, Fabian Ruiz left his place in the 8th minute to Manuel Ugarte. Being treated at the edge of the pitch, the Spanish midfielder appeared to lose consciousness before being evacuated on a stretcher. He subsequently underwent examinations, which revealed a dislocation of the right shoulder, without fracture.
“Additional examinations will be carried out in the coming days to assess the duration of his unavailability,” the capital club said in a press release. At the end of the match, while the first diagnosis was not yet known, Parisian coach Luis Enrique simply observed: “He had a lot of pain in his shoulder. I deplore it because he was in a good period. »
Luis Enrique wants to have choice in the middle
Since Warren Zaire-Emery’s injury on November 18 with the France team (sprained right ankle), Ruiz has started a series of starts in midfield and has performed well. If PSG has no concerns for Zaire-Emery, who will be operational when the winter break resumes, and did not plan to recruit in the middle to replace the titi, it is different for Ruiz.
Depending on the duration of the Spaniard’s unavailability, a reflection has already been launched on Sunday within the French champions to consider reinforcement in this sector, where Luis Enrique wants to have choice. In the meantime, the technician is deprived of a new element for the decisive meeting in the Champions League in Dortmund, after Dembélé (suspended), Zaire-Emery and Nuno Mendes.
