PSG confirms terrible news for Nuno Mendes

Paris Saint-Germain has officially confirmed that left-back Nuno Mendes will be sidelined for several weeks due to a left thigh injury. The Portuguese defender was substituted off in the 86th minute of PSG's 3-1 victory against RC Strasbourg Alsace on Saturday after experiencing pain. The capital club announced the diagnosis in a formal medical press release issued on Sunday.

Manager Luis Enrique had opted not to take further risks during the match, but the injury rules Mendes out of PSG's upcoming UEFA Champions League clash against FC Barcelona. The article highlights that backup full-back Lucas Digne could be tasked with replacing Mendes and defending against Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal.
