Paris Saint-Germain will be without left back Nuno Mendes for their upcoming UEFA Champions League match against FC Barcelona. Multiple outlets report that Mendes is sidelined after suffering a muscle injury to his left thigh and is expected to miss the game.
The injury occurs during PSG’s Ligue 1 match against Strasbourg on Saturday, where Mendes comes off in the 53rd minute. The injury is described as a tear, with one report stating he could be out for several weeks. Coverage characterizes the absence as a significant setback ahead of a crucial European encounter. While the reports focus on his expected time away from the pitch, they do not provide further details on the severity beyond the thigh tear description.
The accounts align on the timing (after the Strasbourg match) and the consequence (missing the PSG–Barcelona fixture), with variations mainly in how extensively they characterize the expected recovery period.
