Désiré Doué, the 20-year-old midfielder/forward for Paris Saint-Germain, had to leave the field due to a thigh injury during Wednesday’s match against Lorient (Ligue 1 Matchday 10). The nature and duration of the injury were then awaited. L’Equipe and Le Parisien have provided initial information.
L’Equipe:
“Suffering from a deep tear in his right thigh, PSG forward Désiré Doué will be out for several weeks. This injury could change the course of PSG’s first half of the season.”
Le Parisien:
“Le Parisien reports that Doué will be out for a period similar to that of his first injury of the season (6 weeks).
Further tests will be carried out today to obtain a final diagnosis.”
We’ll wait for definitive answers; we know nothing is clear without tests. However, it’s impossible to be optimistic in the face of such pain. The muscle is clearly affected; the extent of the damage remains to be seen. Let’s hope for relatively good news with an absence that doesn’t stretch into months. We should know more today.
