Vitinha Doubtful for PSG's Clash Against Bayern Munich
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) coach Luis Enrique announced on Tuesday that midfielder Vitinha is doubtful for the upcoming Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich due to a heel injury. Vitinha will not participate in PSG's Ligue 1 clash against Nantes on Wednesday as a precautionary measure to ensure his recovery.
Enrique mentioned that he is uncertain about Vitinha's return in time for the semi-final first leg at Parc de Princes next Tuesday, highlighting the need to manage the player's minor injury carefully. The 26-year-old has been a crucial part of PSG's midfield, and his absence will be felt.
Enrique also noted that Fabian Ruiz, who has been sidelined for three months, will need time to regain full fitness. Ruiz returned for the final 18 minutes in PSG's recent 2-1 league loss to Lyon.
Enrique expressed confidence in the team's ability to perform despite these challenges as they aim to maintain their lead in the Ligue 1 title race.
