During the Intercontinental Cup final, Matvey Safonov was heroic, but the goalkeeper unfortunately fractured his left hand. The capital club announced that its goalkeeper would be unavailable for three or four weeks, but according to a Russian doctor it will be much less. Enough to put new pressure on Lucas Chevalier.
Lately, Lucas Chevalier is no longer a starter at PSG. Initially injured, the Frenchman left his place to Matvey Safonovwho carried out the interim perfectly. Physically recovered, the former Lille player did not start in the final of the Intercontinental Cupwon by the capital club thanks to an extraordinary performance from the Russian international.
Safonov back earlier than expected?
During the penalty shootout against Flemish, Matvey Safonov stopped four of the Brazilian team’s five attempts. Unfortunately, during one of the stops, the goalkeeper broke his left hand. THE PSG subsequently announced an unavailability of three to four weeks for his player, but it could be much less according to a Russian doctor. “This type of injury heals very well, especially since it is an arm injury. So I highly doubt it will take him more than three weeks to recover. After four weeks, he will be able to play without any restrictions. Sometimes you can give up, and if it’s just a small tear, you don’t have to wait for it to heal. But since Safonov is a goalkeeper, he can train and stay in good physical condition. He will be able to resume goalkeeping exercises in a week and a half to two weeks: juggling, working on his sensitivity. Four weeks is the maximum. But he could return to the field sooner”confided the doctor Nikita Karlitsky has MatchTV.
Complicated beginnings for Chevalier at PSG
Lucas Chevalier will therefore undoubtedly see the return of pressure Matvey Safonov faster than expected. Recruited during the last summer transfer window to be number one in PSGthe former Lille player is struggling at the moment. His performances are not always convincing and the Russian international’s latest performances speak in his favor. It remains to be seen what choice will be made Luis Enriquehe who had pushed for the Frenchman to join Paris and replaces Gianluigi Donnarumma.
