Désiré Doué, the 20-year-old Paris Saint-Germain midfielder/forward, had to leave the Champions League quarter-final second leg with an injury. The same fate befell Nuno Mendes (23-year-old left-back). On Wednesday, PSG released an official statement regarding the two players.
“- Having suffered a knock to his right knee during the match against Liverpool, Désiré Doué will remain in treatment for the next two days before resuming team training.
- Nuno Mendes is experiencing minor discomfort in his right thigh. He will undergo treatment and work in the gym for the next two days.”
This is very positive news after the initial concerns. It is hoped that both players will return very quickly, without taking any risks. It could be a bit longer for Mendes, who will likely miss the home game against Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday, the final match of Ligue 1’s 30th round. Désiré Doué could be available, depending on how he feels when training resumes on Saturday.
