Luis Enrique (55), head coach of Paris Saint-Germain, does not intend to miss his team’s return to the Parc des Princes. According to Le Parisien, despite a bicycle accident on Friday, September 5 that required surgery, the Spanish manager is expected to be on the bench this Sunday at 5:15 p.m. for the Ligue 1 match against Lens.
“He couldn’t miss his team’s return to the Parc des Princes. Despite his bicycle accident on Friday, September 5, Luis Enrique should be present on the PSG bench this Sunday at 5:15 p.m. against Lens. Barring any medical setback, the Spanish manager will take his usual place — that of conductor-in-chief.”
PSG can breathe easier: Luis Enrique, operated on after a bicycle accident last week, should indeed be on the sidelines this Sunday. Although a medical counter-order is still possible, everything indicates the Spaniard will resume his usual role — a key element in PSG’s current momentum.
His presence is more than symbolic: it reflects a determination to let nothing disrupt the rhythm of the French champions, already under scrutiny after a complicated start to the season with limited summer preparation and the recent injuries to key players. This episode also illustrates the resolve of a coach who refuses to leave his players to fend for themselves in such an important encounter against Lens, a notoriously tough and tenacious opponent in Ligue 1.
