Paris Saint-Germain suffered another setback as rising star Désiré Doué was forced off with what appears to be a serious muscle injury during today’s Ligue 1 clash with Lorient. The 20-year-old left the field in visible discomfort in the 62nd minute, clutching the back of his thigh and unable to continue.
PSG drew 1-1 with Lorient, with Nuno Mendes opening the scoring for the Parisians before Igor Silva equalised for the hosts. The result saw PSG drop points in their title chase, adding to the frustration of losing Doué to injury.
The club’s medical team will now carry out detailed examinations, including scans and muscle tests, to assess the full extent of Doué’s injury. Early indications point to a muscular strain, though further evaluation is needed to rule out more serious complications.
This injury is a significant blow for PSG given Doué’s recent form and the busy schedule ahead. He has been one of the team’s key attacking players this season, contributing goals and creativity from midfield.
PSG went into the Lorient game after a 3-0 victory over Brest, where Achraf Hakimi scored twice to help maintain their lead in Ligue 1. However, today’s draw highlighted their struggle to maintain consistency, particularly when injuries strike key players.
The club is expected to issue a formal statement once the medical evaluation is complete, providing more information on Doué’s recovery timeline and his availability for upcoming fixtures.
