Waking up must not have been easy for Nordi Mukiele. Hit in the face after colliding head-on with Clermont goalkeeper Massamba N’Diaye in the opposing area during PSG-Clermont on Saturday evening (1-1), the Parisian defender remained on the ground for a moment before getting up. With a bloody face, he would have liked to return to his place but did not receive approval from the doctor (Patrick Flamant) who, after carrying out the concussion protocol, considered that he was not able to return to the pitch. .
Very angry, the former Leipzig player hit the wall in rage and was forced to give up his place to Achraf Hakimi (13th). First returning to the locker room after interacting with Luis Campos, he then returned to the substitutes’ bench to watch the rest of the match.
The capital club provides its news in a press release published this Sunday and explains that it will see a neurologist in the coming hours. “Victim of a head shock yesterday during the match against Clermont and forced to give up his place following the application of the concussion protocol put in place by the FFF, Nordi Mukiele will carry out additional examinations with a specialist neurologist tomorrow . A new point will be made subsequently,” explains PSG.

At a press conference, his coach Luis Enrique spoke about his exit after the match against Clermont (1-1): “When there is an action of this type, there is a protocol. The doctor in charge judged this to be a dangerous action. Nordi wanted to continue but there are still many matches to play and it was better not to take any risks. He wanted to continue because it had been a long time since he had played.”
