Vitinha Out of PSG Squad with "Heel Inflammation"
Paris Saint-Germain has announced that Portuguese midfielder Vitinha will miss upcoming Ligue 1 fixtures after sustaining an injury to his right heel during the recent match against Olympique Lyonnais. The Parisian club stated in an official medical report that the player is suffering from inflammation resulting from a strong collision during the game, which necessitates a treatment program and a new assessment of his condition before the end of the current week.
The Portuguese international will miss the anticipated match against Nantes, postponed from Week 26 of the domestic competition, with his absence also extending to the subsequent fixture against Angers. Paris Saint-Germain's medical statement read: "Vitinha is suffering from inflammation in his right heel following a blow sustained in the match against Olympique Lyonnais. He will remain under observation for the next few days, with a new assessment of his condition to be conducted at the end of the week." This confirms the player's unavailability for the immediate future.
The Parisian squad is also facing additional absences in defense. Nuno Mendes continues his rehabilitation program to recover from an injury that kept him out of the last match, and he is not yet fully fit to return to the pitch. Meanwhile, Quentin Ndjantou is still following his treatment protocol to recover from a long-term injury, posing challenges for the coaching staff to address these numerical deficiencies.
These medical developments come as the capital club seeks to correct its course after its recent stumble in Ligue 1, a 2-1 loss to Olympique Lyonnais. The club aims to regain its balance in upcoming matches, awaiting the results of further examinations to determine the final return date for the injured players to collective training.
