PSG's Luis Enrique Concerned Over Player Injuries Despite Win
Paris Saint-Germain defeated Barcelona 4-2 in the Champions League on Matchday 3, with late goals from Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz. However, PSG coach Luis Enrique left the Parc des Princes with significant concerns due to injuries to three players.
Ousmane Dembele was the first to leave the pitch, suffering a left thigh injury after just 19 minutes, replaced by Ferran Torres. The situation worsened in the second half when Khvicha Kvaratskhelia collided with right-back Xavi Espart and fell in severe pain, unable to put weight on his right foot.
Captain Marquinhos also walked off injured, leading to Maghnes Akliouche's introduction. Dani Olmo of Barcelona also departed early due to a knock.
Despite the victory, Enrique noted the physical toll on his squad overshadowed the result. Reports indicated PSG is worried about Kvaratskhelia's knee injury, with fears of a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.
An MRI scan was scheduled for Wednesday to assess the damage, which could sideline Kvaratskhelia for up to six months.
