PSG duo set for immediate returns after coming off injured against Liverpool

3

There was a degree of concern for Luis Enrique, despite Paris Saint-Germain’s progression to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League at Liverpool’s expense on Tuesday night. Nuno Mendes was forced off in the first-half of the 2-0 win at Anfield, whilst Désiré Doué was forced off early in the second half.

Speaking post-match, Luis Enrique sought to allay fears regarding the severity of the injuries sustained by the PSG duo. As per a report from **RMC Sport, **the Spaniard was right not to be too fearful. Doué suffered a hit to the knee after being pushed towards the advertising boards by Dominik Szoboszlai. He will undergo treatment for the next two days before returning to first team training.

Mendes, who is suffering from discomfort in his right thigh, is also expected to undergo treatment and work in the gym for the next two days. Like his PSG teammate, he could be back in first-team training before the end of the week. Les Parisiens face Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday night.
