Paris Saint-Germain’s head coach Luis Enrique sustained a fractured collarbone during a cycling incident on Friday and is scheduled for surgical intervention, according to an official announcement from the club. The Spanish manager, known for his passion for cycling, was attended to by medical personnel following the accident.
The timing presents a challenge for the reigning French champions, who are currently enjoying a strong start to their domestic campaign with three consecutive victories. Under Enrique’s leadership, the club achieved its historic first Champions League title last season.
PSG’s upcoming schedule provides some breathing room, with their next fixture not until September 14 against Lens at Parc des Princes, followed by their Champions League defense opener against Atalanta three days later.
In additional concerning news for the club, French international Ousmane Dembélé exited during his national team’s World Cup qualifier against Ukraine with an apparent right hamstring issue. The winger’s condition adds to the team’s current injury concerns as they prepare for crucial matches ahead.
